Replacing burnt vanity mirror light bulb in BMW E39
Compliments of bluebee @ www.bimmerfest.com
Hey, I actually searched for how to replace the vanity mirror bulb in my E39 and didn't find it here, probably because it's so simple, nobody bothered to write up the DIY.
'Cept me! 
1. Remove ignition key
2. Pull vanity mirror light escutcheon away using just finger force
3. Test bulb with VOM; if infinite resistance ... buy 6411 13.5Volt 10 watt bulb
4. Replace bulb
5. Turn ignition on, pull down visor, and slide vanity mirror door open; both bulbs should light up
Note: All three switches must activate (ignition, visor position, mirror-door position) for the both lights to light in unison.
There! The world's simplest DIY!
(And, I probably still got something wrong!)
