dubman 39 Report post Posted September 17, 2010 one of my mates gave me a bmw OEM torch for my bday, unfortunately, it doesnt fit my e30 glovebox socket, but i want to keep it for sentimental value. Question: is it a straight swap of "GENERALY FITS THE FOLLOWING MODELS : E38 , E39 , E46 , X5 , E60 , E63 , E65 AND MORE " sockets to my e30 socket wiring? TIA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIA Yes, dead easy, because the torch socket is nothing more than switched 12V and ground So make the new socket physically fit the mounting location, and then connect the switched 12V and ground.
