    Unhappy Tail light help!!!

    So my left tail light has gone out. Here is the problem.... *camera phone*



    Fuse has MELTED so I believe I need a new tail light assembly piece. Anyone know a good place to get this fixed or where I can order/pick up assembly piece (for a reasonable low price) and not the whole tail light:



    I've checked ebay and no luck. It's a 01 325i BMW e46 Thanks guys!!!

    Make sure you have the right fuse in there, man. It shouldn't be over heating like that. It's possible that there was a short in the wiring, and the previous owner got sick of replacing fuses and just through a stronger fuse in place.

    Just be glad it was your light that burned up and not your entire car. You might wanna check all of your wiring before you do anything else. Better safe than sorry.

    That's a common problem on E46's as well as E53's(x5) u will need to add another ground point so this problem doesn't happen to your new housing
