The door handle illumination sensor has been designed as an electrical system component within the door, taking into account requirements for resistance to changing weather conditions and typical operational loads. The design provides:

• a dedicated electrical connector matched to the BMW door harness,
• a housing adapted for installation in the door handle zone,
• compatibility with the factory vehicle lighting control.

As an element from the Door handles group, the sensor is an integral part of the door operation and exterior lighting system, which allows for maintaining the consistency of the entire system's operation.

Condition and service application

The offered item is in used condition, making it an attractive solution for service repairs when the priority is to maintain an original BMW part while optimizing costs. This type of component is particularly useful in situations where:
