Compatibility
Suitable for Peugeot 3008 (First Generation). Check the part codes above when searching or comparing replacements (9683461480 / 6350HH).
Function And Common Faults
The third brake light (high-mount stop lamp) provides an additional, centrally positioned brake signal to following traffic, improving braking visibility and safety. Failure modes are typically electrical (burnt filament bulbs, failed LEDs, connector corrosion, wiring damage) or mechanical (cracked lens, damaged seal leading to water ingress). Water penetration is the most frequent cause of long-term failure as it corrodes contacts and can short internal electronics.
How To Replace
- Open the tailgate and remove the interior trim panel to access the lamp mounting area.
- Unscrew or unclip the retaining fasteners securing the third brake light (usually 2–4 screws/clips depending on trim).
- Carefully lower the lamp assembly and disconnect the wiring connector.
- Replace the lamp with the new unit, connect the wiring harness and verify correct electrical connection.
- Refit the trim panel and fasteners, close the tailgate and test the brake light function with the vehicle on or with an assistant operating the brake pedal.
Installation Recommendation
Before removal, disconnect the battery to prevent short circuits. Handle the lamp gently to avoid damaging the lens or seal. Inspect the wiring connector and harness for corrosion or damage and clean contacts if necessary. Use dielectric grease on connectors to reduce future corrosion risk and ensure a watertight seal when refitting. After installation, verify operation of the centre brake lamp and check for any warning lights related to exterior lighting.
Why This Part Fails Most Often
Most failures are caused by water ingress that leads to connector corrosion or internal circuit damage. Mechanical stress from repeated tailgate opening/closing or impact to the spoiler area can also crack the lens or displace seals. Electrical issues such as a blown bulb (if fitted with a filament bulb) or failed LED components are common, as are loose or damaged connectors from improper previous installations.
Buying a correctly coded replacement using the OE numbers (9683461480, 6350HH) simplifies sourcing and ensures fitment. This lamp is ideal for mechanics and competent DIYers looking to restore proper brake-light operation on Peugeot 3008 First Generation vehicles.
