Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented socket is a component from the Rear lights and brake lights group, responsible for the electrical connection of the rear tail light on the left side of the vehicle. Its placement in the rear area on the driver's side allows for a precise fit into the factory lamp socket without the need for any modifications to the installation. This element is particularly useful when the connector has been damaged due to a collision, contact corrosion, or improper lamp removal. Using a dedicated socket minimizes the risk of lighting malfunctions, dashboard error messages, and unstable electrical contact.

Benefits of using an original socket

Using an original solution for Land Rover translates into a number of practical advantages in daily operation:

• secure wire routing and stable mounting in the tail light,
• proper pin alignment, reducing the risk of overheating and arcing,
• easier diagnostics of potential lighting system faults,
• no need for universal adapters or wiring modifications. As a result, repairing the rear lighting system is more predictable, and the installation process is orderly and compliant with the manufacturer's specifications. This is particularly important in vehicles equipped with advanced light control systems.

Installation characteristics

The socket is designed for use in the rear left part of the vehicle, which facilitates the identification of the correct mounting location during service. The connector design allows it to be seated in the lamp in one correct position, reducing the risk of incorrect wiring connection. When replacing, it is worth paying attention to:

• the condition of the wires leading to the socket,
• the cleanliness and elasticity of the contacts,
• proper latching of the connector in the lamp housing. This approach allows for restoring the proper operation of the rear lighting without the need to interfere with other installation components.

Condition and service application

The item is a salvaged part, making it an attractive service solution for users looking for an economical lighting system repair while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. The socket is suitable both for replacing a damaged connector and for reconstructing the installation after bodywork and paint repairs in the rear section of the vehicle.
