Where's the best place to buy/order side marker light

Hey Guys,

I'm looking to purchase a replacement for my side marker light on the plastic fender portion, driver side, Part Number 63-13-2-751-331. South Bay MINI wanted $42.50. Anyone know a cheaper place to purchase? Online or brick & mortar. Thanks!

Add the $6 shipping and your pretty close to what your dealer is asking. Doubt it's worth it.

Call another dealer. That's absurd. I bought mine at the dealer because I got em for like a dollar over what they sell on eBay for.

You could try Sewell Parts, a vendor on NAM. http://mini.sewellparts.com/oem-cata...SLCI-2011.html. Not sure which model you have, but the side markers are less than $30.00. Also, keep your eyes open for a NAM discount.

As for installation, removing the fender liner and accessing the side marker mounting nuts will allow you to remove it.
It's very simple once you get your hands on it.

Just to let you know for future parts you may need to order, you can alway hit up my friend at LTBMW in El Monte. I live close to you too. He can definitely order any MINI or BMW parts you will ever need. I've recommended him to a fellow member and he's convinced of his work.
