Compatibility And Fitment
Compatible with Peugeot 207 rear right lamps from the series that feature LED tail-light modules introduced from 2010 onwards. Verify that the lamp assembly on the vehicle matches the socket shape and connector type before installation. This part is intended to replace the original socket without modification where the same part numbers apply.
Installation Recommendations
Basic replacement can be performed in a standard workshop or by an experienced DIY mechanic. Typical procedure:
- Open the boot and remove any trim panels obstructing access to the lamp assembly.
- Unscrew or unclip the tail-light housing fasteners and gently pull the lamp assembly outwards.
- Disconnect the wiring connector from the lamp assembly.
- Rotate or unclip the faulty bulb socket from the lamp housing (usually a simple twist-and-pull action) and remove the bulb if required.
- Fit the new socket, ensure the bulb (correct type) is seated correctly, reconnect the wiring and test all light functions before reassembly.
Use basic hand tools (screwdriver, Torx if required, trim pry tool). Apply a small amount of dielectric grease to contacts to reduce corrosion. Inspect seals and gaskets when reinstalling to maintain water resistance. Test brake, tail, and indicator functions after installation.
Why This Part Fails Most Often
Common failure causes include corrosion of the electrical contacts due to moisture ingress, heat damage from high-temperature bulbs or poor seating, vibration fatigue that cracks plastic tabs, and contamination from road debris. In LED-equipped assemblies, thermal cycling and differential expansion can also stress sockets. Regular inspection when changing bulbs or servicing the tail-light can reveal early signs of wear.
Notes For Professionals
Searchable part numbers (9686565980, 6351HQ) make this socket easy to locate in parts catalogs. For reliable long-term repair, always replace damaged seals and verify connector pins are straight and free of corrosion before final assembly.
