This page helps you verify bulb sizes for the 2017 BMW i3 by lighting position, so you can match the correct bulb to each exterior and interior lamp before you buy. Because BMW used different lighting setups depending on trim, body style, and market, checking the exact location is the safest way to confirm fitment.
For the 2017 BMW i3, many exterior lights use LED assemblies, while several interior positions still use replaceable bulbs. That means some locations are serviced as complete LED units, and others use standard bulb types such as 2825/98, H11, or 64132. Use the chart on this page to narrow down the correct replacement by function, not just by vehicle name.
Fitment can vary with trim level, lighting package, and whether the car has factory LED equipment or a different regional specification. Some positions may be LED-only and not use a traditional replaceable bulb, while others can be upgraded with aftermarket LED conversions if the socket and housing allow it. Before ordering, it is smart to inspect the installed bulb or assembly, compare the connector and base style, and confirm whether your i3 already has LED lighting in that position. This is especially important for headlamps, turn signals, and exterior marker lights, where halogen, LED, and retrofit parts may not interchange cleanly.
The low beam headlight is listed as LED on the 2017 BMW i3. In many cases this means the lamp is part of an LED headlight assembly rather than a simple replaceable bulb.
The high beam headlight bulb is H11 on this model year. Always confirm the exact housing before buying, since lighting equipment can vary by market and package.
The front turn signal bulb is listed as 64132. Check the socket and lamp style before purchase, especially if the car has a different lighting package or regional configuration.
Yes, the rear turn signal light is listed as LED. That usually means the rear signal is part of an LED lamp assembly rather than a standard replaceable bulb.
The license plate light bulb is listed as LED. If the lamp is not working, you may need to replace the LED module or assembly rather than a conventional bulb.
The dome light bulb is 2825, 98. These are common interior bulb types, but it is still a good idea to match the installed bulb before ordering.
The map light bulb is 2825, 98 on the 2017 BMW i3. Verify both the bulb base and the physical length if you are replacing it with an aftermarket part.
The glove box light bulb is 2825, 98. Because interior lamp housings can differ slightly, checking the original bulb is the best way to avoid a mismatch.
Yes, the brake light bulb and tail light bulb are both listed as LED. On many i3 models, these are integrated LED lighting functions rather than separate service bulbs.
Check the exact lighting position, the installed bulb or assembly, and whether your car has LED equipment from the factory. Trim, package, and market differences can change the correct fitment.
Usually no. LED positions are often designed as LED modules or assemblies, so a halogen bulb will not be a direct replacement unless the housing was built for it.
BMW used a mix of LED assemblies and standard service bulbs on the 2017 i3. The chart separates each lighting position so you can tell which lamps are simple bulb replacements and which are LED units.
