I'm having issues with bulbs, specifically the driver's tail 2-stage bulbs, and I've read that several people here have replaced the "bulb holder panel". This panel is what holds the bulbs that make up the tail light assembly.

I've googled to my end, and can't find anything. Anyone know what the part number is, or even better, where to get the part and how much it costs?

Many thanks in advance!

 

They refer to it as a socket. See part #5 in the diagram in the link

Also do you have the stock taillights? Just wanted to make sure if you are pre 7/2004 you don't have the factory clear lens. They take the special diadem bulbs and socket housings.


Thanks and hope that helps.

 

Awesome! I have a 2006 Mini base, and it looks like the 2nd photo you posted is exactly what I need.

Seriously, can't thank you enough!

 

You are welcome.

I am glad I could help.
