Fixing headlight switch illumination (bulb)

[Chrix]

Going to attempt this DIY soon;http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=534695However I've tried asking all the accessories shop around here for that replacement bulb & they have no idea what I'm talking about.Anyone got any ideas on where to find those bulbs?Also, while vising these "accessories shop", I notice they only cater to the beng-my-car crowd..is that why I couldn't find what I needed?

what you need to do is to open the swith and take out the bulb. go to the accessories shop and show them. only then they know. the size of the bulb is about one tiny rice, rm5. a cheap fix and you'd be happy to DIYed it

Are bulb types standard across continents?, funny I told them the bulb type as outlined in the thread (Replacement bulbs.. #2721)?

On another note, is there an online store locally which sells car parts that is reliable? Its a pain going to those beng-my-ride stores -.-''

Hit a snag with my DIY.. the bulb & its socket is missing from the headlight switch unit.. anyone got a spare?
