Egg Yolk Bulb Blew out. R53

Hey i just noticed this morning my drivers side egg yolk bulb (not turn signal bulb) blew out or fuse not sure.

does anyone know what bulb that is for a replacement or if there's a fuse for it?

Another thing to add on the list for problems with this car.


thanks,
Ricky

Another thing to add on the list ? You just blew a bulb didn't you ? Take it out and see if it's blown. If so, don't put it back in and go to a pep boys and buy the same bulb for $2 or so. Just pop your bonnet open, look for the hole right behind the bumper where you are going to see two wires plugged into the housing and twist them off. Pull the bulb out and your set.

i know that much lol

i just wanted to see if anyone knew the bulb size off the top of their head

and about the list.....apparently my mini has a habit in breaking something every week or two.

i've only had it 4 months and i've had:
brake booster go out
clutch/flywheel replaced
wheel speed sensor broke
bulb blew out
small steering wheel click
remote drivers door lock/unlock doesn't work
morning cold start stall issue
yo-yo
rattles galore
and i thought i blew one of my h/k speakers but i didn't

yay


i'll tell ya....i never had any real problems with my previous Hondas

I too had to replace a front turn signal bulb.

It's a 7507.

Found it in this thread:
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...nt-bumper.html

I searched google for "mini cooper front turnsignal bulb" and came to the aforementioned link.
