Technical Information
- Manufacturer: Stellantis / Peugeot
- Model: Peugeot 207 (3-Door and 5-Door) — Right Rear, Passenger Side
- Product Codes: 9686565980, 6351HQ
- Additional Numbers: No additional reference numbers provided
Compatibility And Fitment
Fits Peugeot 207 hatchback models with LED-equipped rear light clusters introduced from 2010. Confirm application for 3-door and 5-door body styles where the right rear (passenger side) lamp uses a removable bulb/socket subassembly. This part is intended to replace the socket inside the lamp housing — not the complete lamp unit.
Function
The bulb holder (socket) secures the lamp contact to the vehicle wiring harness, maintains electrical continuity, and helps position the light source within the rear lamp assembly. It also provides basic protection against vibration and, to a limited extent, environmental exposure when the lamp housing seal is intact.
Most Common Causes Of Failure
- Corrosion Of Electrical Contacts: Moisture ingress or condensation inside the lamp can corrode contacts and cause intermittent or total loss of function.
- Heat And Material Fatigue: Prolonged thermal stress from LEDs or nearby components can cause plastic deformation or cracking.
- Mechanical Damage: Impact, rough removal or worn locking tabs can break the socket or prevent proper retention in the lamp housing.
- Poor Electrical Contact: Loose terminals or worn connectors lead to flickering or non-functioning lamp circuits.
Replacement And Installation
These steps are intended as general guidance for experienced technicians and competent DIYers. Follow vehicle manufacturer’s service manual for exact procedures.
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal to avoid short circuits and protect vehicle electronics.
- Open the tailgate and remove the interior trim or access panel to reach the rear lamp mounting screws/clips.
- Remove the lamp assembly fasteners and carefully pull the lamp cluster out far enough to access the bulb holder on the wiring harness side.
- Unplug the connector and twist or unclip the old socket from the lamp housing (method depends on lamp design).
- Install the new socket by inserting and twisting/clipping into the lamp housing until it clicks; reconnect wiring harness and ensure secure contact.
- Refit lamp assembly, tighten fasteners, reinstall trim, and reconnect the battery. Test all rear lamp functions before handing the vehicle back.
Installation Recommendations
- Always disconnect the battery before starting work on electrical components.
- Inspect lamp housing seals and gaskets; replace any damaged seals to prevent future moisture ingress.
- Clean contact surfaces and apply a light dielectric grease where appropriate to reduce corrosion and improve longevity.
- Handle plastic parts carefully to avoid breaking retaining tabs; use appropriate trim tools where needed.
Why Replace This Part
Replace the bulb holder when you observe intermittent lamp operation, visible corrosion on contacts, a loose fit inside the lamp housing, or after mechanical damage to the socket or its retaining features. Replacing the socket restores reliable electrical connection and proper lamp positioning within the assembly.
