Function
The lamp assemblies mounted in the tailgate provide interior illumination of the luggage compartment and accommodate the relevant bulbs and sockets. They protect the bulbs and wiring from direct contact while ensuring correct light distribution inside the boot area and, depending on vehicle variant, may contribute to rear lighting circuits.
Installation Recommendations
- Work Preparation: Park vehicle on a level surface and ensure the tailgate is securely propped open.
- Safety: Before handling electrical connections, isolate the vehicle electrical system by disconnecting the negative battery terminal if required for your workshop practice.
- Removal: Remove the inner tailgate trim panel to access the lamp. Undo the retaining screws/clips, carefully release the lamp from its locating tabs and unplug the electrical connector.
- Fitting: Fit the new lamp into the locating points, connect the wiring harness and secure with the original screws/clips. Replace any worn seals or gaskets to ensure a watertight fit.
- Testing: Reconnect the battery if disconnected and test all lamp functions before reassembling trim. Ensure bulbs/sockets are correctly seated (bulb sockets are not included with this unit).
- Final Check: Verify tailgate closes without interference and that the lamp housing is flush with surrounding panels to prevent water ingress.
Most Common Failure Reasons
- Moisture Ingress: Cracked lens seals or damaged gaskets allow water to enter, causing corrosion of contacts and bulbs to fail.
- Impact Damage: Loading/unloading cargo or minor collisions can crack the housing or break mounting tabs.
- Corroded Connectors/Bulb Holders: Corrosion at terminals leads to intermittent or total loss of function.
- Heat And Vibration: Over time, heat from bulbs and continual vibration can fatigue plastic clips and sockets.
Replacement Interval And Tips
There is no fixed mileage interval for lamp replacement. Inspect the lamp during routine service or immediately if you notice condensation inside the lens, visible damage, or electrical faults. When replacing the unit, also inspect and, if necessary, replace bulb holders, bulbs and any rubber seals to ensure long-term reliability.
Note
Bulb sockets and bulbs are not included with this lamp and must be ordered separately. Check the vehicle workshop manual or parts catalogue for correct bulb types and socket references before installation.
