I'm fairly sure I need to replace the mileometer / odometer bulb in my instrument cluster. Can anyone confirm the bulbs are the ones that come with a bulb holder and I think they are beige. Also are they reasonably easy to change.

Looks like item numbers 4 and 5 separate holder and separate bulb.
Two screws to take the cluster out pull it forward to get at the rear to access the bulbs.

Thanks I will order a couple. I have already ordered a couple that come with the holders. It seems that bmw in their wisdom have used 3 different bulbs in the cluster. As I don't want to remove the cluster more than once I will get some spares to cover all options. I can guarantee if I don't another one will blow as soon as I put it back 😂
