BMW M6 2012 Bulb Size
Bulb size chart
Looking up the right bulbs for a 2012 BMW M6 can be confusing because the car uses different lighting setups depending on trim, market, and headlight package. This page helps you verify bulb sizes by lighting position, so you can match the correct bulb to the exact spot on the car instead of guessing by appearance.
For the 2012 BMW M6, the chart includes exterior bulbs such as headlights, fog lights, brake lights, turn signals, parking lights, tail lights, license plate lights, and side markers, plus interior and cargo-area bulbs. It also separates LED-headlight and HID-headlight applications where the bulb type changes by package.
Before ordering, confirm whether your M6 has LED headlights or HID headlights, since the low beam, high beam, daytime running light, and cornering light listings can differ between those setups. Trim and lighting package differences can also affect fitment, and aftermarket conversions may change the bulb type from what the factory used. If you are replacing a bulb that has already failed, check the installed bulb or the housing label before buying, especially for smaller interior lamps and the reverse light, so you avoid ordering the wrong size.
