Product Information

BMW Exterior Lighting diagram for Z8

A turn signal light, also known as an indicator or blinker, is a critical part of a vehicle’s safety system that signals your intent to turn or change lanes. The lights are located at the front, rear, and sometimes on the sides of the vehicle, and they flash on and off when the driver activates the turn signal lever. The turn signals inform other drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians of the vehicle’s movements to help prevent accidents.

• Turn Signal Light Not Blinking: The most obvious sign of failure is when the turn signal doesn't blink or activate at all. This can be caused by a blown bulb, faulty wiring, or a bad turn signal switch.
• Rapid Flashing: If the turn signal blinks much faster than normal, this often indicates a burned-out bulb.

About Genuine BMW

The original parts used by BMW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine BMW” brand. When ordering a Genuine BMW part you are guaranteed to get the same part that you would pick up from your local dealerships part department. Genuine BMW parts have been built to BMW’s stringent standards and are the same quality of the original parts used to build your Ultimate Driving Machine.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your BMW are not necessarily manufactured by BMW. No cause for concern, as BMW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for BMW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine BMW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a BMW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
