Key Benefits
- Direct fit for left rear lamp assemblies on Peugeot 307 SW from 2005 onward.
- Supplies reliable electrical contact between the vehicle wiring loom and the bulb base.
- Comes with the bulb installed in the socket, so replacement can be done in one operation.
- Simple, fast replacement reduces workshop labour time compared with replacing the entire lamp cluster.
Compatibility
Intended For: Peugeot 307 SW (Estate) models from 2005. Check the product codes below to match to the original part number used on the vehicle.
How It Works And Typical Faults
The socket provides mechanical support and the electrical connection for the rear lamp bulb. Common causes of failure include contact corrosion, heat-related deformation from repeated bulb changes or overheated bulbs, water ingress into the lamp housing, broken or fatigued contacts, and wiring connector damage due to vibration. When the socket fails, symptoms can include intermittent lighting, non-functioning tail/stop/indicator lamps, or excessive resistance resulting in dim lights.
Replacement Procedure (Overview)
- Park the vehicle on a level surface, switch off ignition and remove key.
- For safety, disconnect the negative battery terminal if you will work on the vehicle electrics for an extended time or if recommended by workshop procedures.
- Access the left rear lamp through the tailgate or remove the interior trim panel to reach the lamp retaining screws/bolts.
- Remove the lamp unit fastening screws and carefully extract the lamp assembly from the body.
- Rotate the socket counterclockwise (or release the retaining clip) to withdraw it from the lamp housing and unplug the wiring connector.
- Fit the replacement socket with bulb, connect the wiring connector, insert the socket into the lamp housing and secure it by turning clockwise or clipping it in place.
- Refit the lamp assembly and interior trim panels, reconnect the battery if disconnected, and test all lamp functions (tail, brake, indicator, reverse where applicable).
Maintenance And Recommendations
- Inspect lamp housings for signs of water ingress or cracked seals; address sealing issues to prevent repeat failures.
- Use bulbs of the correct specification and wattage to avoid overheating the socket.
- Apply a small amount of dielectric grease to connector contacts to reduce corrosion and improve long-term conductivity.
- Replace the socket promptly if contacts appear burned, loose, or corroded rather than repeatedly swapping bulbs.
Why This Part Fails Most Often
Exposure to moisture and road salts, repeated thermal cycling from bulb heating and cooling, and mechanical vibration are the primary reasons for socket degradation. Corroded contacts and poor sealing are the most common root causes behind intermittent or complete lamp failure.

Installation Advice
Perform installation in a dry, well-lit area. Protect painted surfaces when removing the lamp assembly. After fitting, verify operation of all related lamp functions and secure all fasteners to the manufacturer’s torque recommendations where applicable. If corrosion or wiring damage is present, repair the wiring harness before fitting the new socket to ensure a durable repair.
