This specific listing covers the inner tail light for either the left-hand or right-hand side, identified as the right-hand side in the confirmed facts. It serves as an essential rear light component, helping signal braking and turning to other road users.

This tail light unit is an inner section, which means it fits closer to the vehicle’s centerline compared to the outer tail lights. When sourcing this part, buyers should compare the shape, mounting points, and connector style with their existing tail light to ensure compatibility. It is important to verify year range fitment and side to match the correct position on the vehicle.

The unit fits within the E46 chassis generation of the BMW 3 Series, maintaining the vehicle’s original design intent for lighting needs. This part is listed under the taillight category and does not include bulbs, brackets, or mounting clips unless otherwise stated.

  • Fits BMW 3 Series E46 models from 1998 to 2003
  • Inner tail light for left or right side (confirmed here as right-hand side)
  • Replacement for rear tail light function on the specified model years

If this repair may need matching clips, brackets, lights, panels or more than one part, check Ranger Taillight Trim 2012+, Quick Repair Bundle or Request a Part before ordering.
