Does anyone know where the best place to buy a bulb for the boot of my E46 is? There are two bulbs in the boot of the saloon and one is out.

Thanks

Any motor factor, its only a bulb!

Sure its the bulb though not the common e46 corroded light unit?

No clue. Would it be obviously corroded or subtly?

Swap the bulbs over to see whether it's the bulb or the socket.

BMW might not be that expensive.
Volvo only wanted €1.50 for a rear headlamp bulb for the V50, so you might be lucky with bulbs which aren't main/dipped beam.
