Who's Got the Button?

Both of my map light buttons have broken and fallen off. Is there a way to replace them, or am I looking at a whole new dome light fixture if I want those two tiny plastic bits?

RealOEM lists the buttons as separate parts: 63316988172 (grey), 63316988209 (black).

LAMP BUTTON

SAME PROBLEM !!! The oem site does not list this as a stocking part number. Anyone else have thoughts?

Problem solved

I never cease to be amazed at just how much people on this forum know. I've just ordered some festoons and 194s off of eBay after re-reading advice received from you and others a few months back.

These buttons are $1.01 each, which is shockingly cheap for anything that qualifies for a Mini part number. The parts are on order from my local dealer.

Thanks RKW!

I was going to add...

I had the dome light buttons fall out too.. Called the dealer and they just replaced the full assembly (under waranty) and only took 20 mins..

I did ask how much for the grey somewhat tirangular buttons from the parts desk... $2.. So really not a high cost item...

Enjoy

I expect to hit 100K around the time of the Dragon, so no warranty option here. Heck, they made me complete and fax back a charge card authorization before they'd risk placing a $2.02 order, so these are not the most generous people on earth.
