How do I change the light bulb on the center console rear 12.5volt DC power plug. The right amber ring burned out.
Thanks for the help

If it is the same as my car, the panel on the back of the center console gives the passengers two 12v outlets. The panel actually pulls out if you gently pry it out using leverage from putting your fingers in the outlet holes (sounds bad, I know).
From memory, the bottom of the panel should come out first because the top has a recessed bezel that rest underneath the vents that are above this assembly.
Once you have gotten this far a trip to your local BMW parts counter should be all you need.

Just for kicks, i take a look at the rear outlets in my car (always driving, which is definitely not a bad thing) and I got the same problem, one of the light rings are out. Good to know there's an easy fix
