Hi all
I haven't been on here for a looooooong time.
Quick one - how do I replace the real trail light/brake light bulbs on a 2008 M35x? I have the housing off the car but I can't figure out how to get to the bulbs (NOT the indicator bulb).
Thank you for your help!

No bulbs, they're LED's. They're also sealed and not serviceable. You need to replace the assembly.

What would you suggest is the best place to source a good replacement part?
Most of what I see on eBay is crazy expensive, damaged or shipping is crazy
Thanks!

There are a couple of different part numbers and I'm not sure what the differences are, so the first thing is, visit https://www.infinitipartsdeal.com/ and enter your VIN. Then search "combination" to find the correct lamp for your ride. Then you can google that part number to find alternatives. However, buying the genuine part from InfinitiPartsDeal may be your best bet, their price was cheaper on both part numbers than anything I saw on eBay or Amazon.
