its made 09/2005. i think its the one circled below as it says quantity 2 per headlight on real oem and they are called 5w longlife bulb but no model given so not 100% sure.
they look like those really small 501 bulbs. one for each halo so 4 in total.

well i googled the bulb part number - 63217160797

and found this thread, where others used 194 and 501 style bulbs. it looks to be just a standard wedge bulb.

guess only way is to remove it and see. cheers

it's a T10 bulb,

guess they are the same as in my last e46 and they are called many names: 501, T10, W5W, 5w Wedge
