You actually need 13 bulbs for the interior if you intend changing them all, and that doesn't include the rear number plate lights so that is another 2 Just for information if anyone else is thinking of getting some.

Just a quick edit, this quantity doesn't include the vanity mirrors, not sure which bulbs are in them as i havn't looked. i may look tomorrow.

Would these work for the rear plate?

I didn't realise there were so many lights inside the car

Quick question, when changing the bulbs are you meant to disconnect the battery?

Just went out to change my sun visor bulbs.......theyre not festoon
Now need to work out what they are, they're like a smaller version of the W5W.....

Anyone want to buy some festoon bulbs  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
MERCEDES GL350 - Metallic Navy Blue w/Grey interior

GOING: BMW F31 335D MSport+ xDrive Touring

Don't forget they only work one way, its a 50/50 chance you put it in the right way around, if it doesn't work first time you put the bulb in, take it out turn it 180 deg then push it back in. Note when doing drivers door.... i took the bulb out then had several phone calls to attend to, when i came to put the LED bulb back in i couldn't get it to work at all no matter which way i put the bulb in or how many different bulbs i tried So i put the original bulb back in and that didn't work either So i put 2+2 together came up with 3....... again so i left the old bulb in got called to a meeting, shut the car door, had to reopen the car door and hay presto, the light was on changed the bulb again for a LED and it worked, did my sums again and 2+2 became 4 then realised that the light timed out and goes off after a period of time whilst i was on the phone, so the moral of the story is....... when changing the drivers door bulb, do it before the bulb times out.
