Driver side interior lighting broken fiber optic

OneEyedTurkey · 11-06-2022, 09:42 PM

Hi all! Long story short, I was replacing my sticky inner door handles on my 2016 340i. In the door reassembly, I reconnected the fiber optic under trim lighting and the end snapped. Is there a place I can be redirected to order the replacement piece? Has anyone done this before?

First off it’s an optical cable, second off here’s the parts number: BMW 63319239409

Very simple to replace. I broke mine recently and bought a new one from eBay.

Do you happen to have any instructions on how to remove the broken one from the trim? I wasn’t sure at the first glance.

It comes out from the front of the door card. Just grab it with a pair of tweezers from the front and pull it down

Does anyone know where I can find pictures or a video on how to replace a snapped fiber optic cable?
