BMW X6 2016 Bulb Size
Bulb size chart
This 2016 BMW X6 bulb size guide is designed to help you verify the correct bulb type by lighting position before you buy replacements. Because BMW used different lighting setups across trims and markets, checking the exact location on the vehicle is the safest way to match the right bulb for your X6.
On this page, you can review exterior and interior bulb fitment for common positions such as headlights, fog lights, brake lights, license plate lights, reverse lights, and cabin lamps. The 2016 BMW X6 uses many LED lighting positions, but a few areas may still vary depending on the package or headlight system installed.
For best fitment, compare your X6’s trim and lighting package before ordering. Some 2016 BMW X6 models use LED headlights, while others may have HID-related front turn signal fitment, and aftermarket conversions can change the bulb style needed. Even when the chart lists an LED bulb position, it is still smart to inspect the installed bulb or assembly before purchase, especially for items like the trunk or cargo area light, which may use 2825 or 98, and the headlight high beam and low beam setup, which may use D1S on certain configurations.
