BMW i8 2016 Bulb Size
Bulb size chart
This 2016 BMW i8 bulb size page is designed to help you verify the correct bulbs by lighting position, so you can match the right fit before you buy. Because the i8 uses LED lighting for the listed exterior and interior locations, it is especially important to confirm the exact lamp type for each position rather than assuming a universal replacement.
Use this page as a quick reference for the 2016 BMW i8 when checking headlights, brake lights, turn signals, license plate lights, daytime running lights, reverse lights, and cabin lighting. The bulb chart is organized by location to make replacement planning easier and to reduce the chance of ordering the wrong part.
Fitment can vary by trim, lighting package, market, and body style, so always compare the bulb position on your vehicle with the chart before purchasing. Some BMW i8 models may use different LED assemblies or integrated modules instead of serviceable halogen-style bulbs, and aftermarket conversions can change what is actually installed. If you are replacing a light, check the existing bulb or assembly first, especially when the catalog shows LED, because the correct fix may be a complete module rather than a loose bulb. Verifying the installed part before you buy is the safest way to avoid returns and compatibility issues.
FAQ
Does the 2016 BMW i8 use LED bulbs for the listed exterior lights?
Yes. The bulb chart for this page shows LED for the listed exterior lighting positions, including the low beam, high beam, brake light, turn signals, tail light, daytime running light, reverse light, parking light, license plate light, and side markers.
Why should I check bulb size by lighting position on the 2016 BMW i8?
Because the i8 uses different lighting functions in different locations, and the correct replacement depends on where the bulb is installed. A bulb that fits one position may not fit another, even on the same vehicle.
Are the headlight bulbs on the 2016 BMW i8 replaceable as standard bulbs?
The chart lists both headlight low beam and high beam as LED. On vehicles like the i8, headlight lighting may be part of an integrated LED system, so replacement can differ from a traditional halogen bulb setup.
What should I know about brake light replacement on this model year?
The 2016 BMW i8 brake light bulb is listed as LED. In many cases, LED brake lighting is part of a sealed or integrated lamp assembly, so the repair may involve the full unit rather than a simple bulb swap.
Do the front and rear turn signals use the same bulb type?
Both front and rear turn signal positions are listed as LED on this page, but that does not always mean the same service part or module is used in both locations. Always confirm the exact position before ordering.
Is the license plate light on the 2016 BMW i8 an LED bulb?
Yes. The license plate light bulb is listed as LED, which is common on premium BMW models. Check the housing style before purchase because some versions use a complete LED lamp module.
What about the daytime running lights and parking lights?
The page lists both daytime running light and parking light bulbs as LED. These lights may be integrated into the front lighting design, so the replacement method can depend on the exact assembly fitted to your car.
Can trim or market differences change the bulb fitment on a 2016 BMW i8?
Yes. Trim level, lighting package, market, and body style can affect the exact bulb or module used. That is why it is important to match the bulb position on your specific vehicle instead of relying only on the model year.
Should I expect halogen bulbs anywhere on this page?
No. The available bulb chart rows for this 2016 BMW i8 page list LED for the lighting positions shown. If your vehicle has been modified or converted, the installed parts may differ from the chart.
What is the best way to confirm the correct replacement before buying?
Check the installed bulb or lamp assembly on the vehicle, compare it with the bulb position listed on this page, and verify any markings on the part itself. This is especially important for LED lighting and aftermarket conversions.
Are interior lights like the dome, map, and trunk lights also listed as LED?
Yes. The chart includes trunk or cargo area light, dome light, map light, interior door light, stepwell light, and instrument panel light as LED, along with front and rear side marker positions.
Why does the page mention both low beam and high beam separately?
Because the 2016 BMW i8 lists those headlight functions separately, and each lighting position can have its own design or module. Checking the exact beam position helps avoid ordering the wrong part.
