Backup light lens, housing and harness - where to get

Hey guys,

Where can I get the backup light lens, housing and harness for an '02 mini ? The backup light had suffered a minor impact (poor reversing), lens broke and the light stopped working. Thinking the lamp itself was busted I replaced it - no good. But the backup light does work intermittently. Possible loose contact in the harness/housing. Hence I'd like to know where I can get them. Thanks !

realoem.com should help you locate the part number. then take the part number over to pelicanparts.com paste it in and voila!

Take a look under the cover.

I think you will find that the wires are already there for the back up light, all you will need is the back up light. I believe all Minis come with the wiring for rear fog lights, all that is needed is a new switch module and BCM programing for rear fog lights.

What exactly did you replace -- only the bulb?

The part number for the full lamp assembly is 63221477678, or the bulb holder separately is 63226916986. You can order them through any MINI dealer. Look here for the parts diagram: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...32&hg=63&fg=20

Folks,

It looks like I need the female socket that the backup lamp kit plugs into - the one which is part of the wiring ON the car. Any idea where I can get this beast ?
