Ashtray light

[daki77]

I've noticed that there's a bit of light inside front ashtray when it is opened...but there's no that kind of light "inside" rear ashtray (for the rear passengers) in my car...is it some kind of a blown bulb that should lit up that...or something else?

Btw, it's 1993. E36.....

The harness with the bulb is under there somewhere. They always tend to fall out of the socket.

Or the bulb is worn out... I had it 2.

I dont have one in 1995 e36

Hmmmm....probably worn-out bulb...possibly lost, too! I'll try to find it, then replace it (if I find it lol).... Thank you very much for your answers!

I meant to find it in my car....but thanks for info about Bavauto...it's not the bulbs I would love so much to buy there, but I am on the other side of Atlantic and shipping costs from US are enormous for us in Europe!

I found the little bulb after taking apart the centre console. I figured it was for the ashtray, but haven't seen where it goes.

Any auto parts store should have it. It's Sylvania #2721, 1.2w. Or another brand's equivalent.

DAMN! Found it...replaced it...it's working...and now, whoever sits there, I have to repeat: YES, it IS the ashtray...NO it is NOT for smoking!
