Key Features
– Direct-fit Valeo LED DRL for the left side of Peugeot 308.
– OEM-compatible design for proper alignment and light pattern.
– Low power consumption with long-lasting LED technology.
– Ideal for replacing damaged or non-functional daytime running light modules.
Compatibility
Designed to fit Peugeot 308 models that use Valeo DRL modules with the referenced product codes (see Technical Information). Always compare the product codes stamped on the original part when searching for a replacement.
Function
Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) increase vehicle visibility during daylight hours and are typically controlled by the body control module or lighting control unit. The LED DRL provides consistent illumination with quicker start-up and lower heat generation compared with halogen units.
How To Replace
Replacement procedure (general guidance; follow vehicle manufacturer service manual for exact steps):
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting work to avoid short circuits.
- Access the headlight area—on many Peugeot 308 variants this may require removing the front bumper or loosening the wheel arch liner to reach the left headlamp assembly.
- Remove the mounting screws/clips securing the headlamp or DRL module, carefully disconnect the electrical connector, and extract the faulty unit.
- Fit the replacement Valeo DRL, reconnect the connector, secure all fasteners, and reassemble removed panels.
- Reconnect the battery and verify DRL operation and alignment. Check for warning messages on the instrument cluster.

Installation Recommendations
– Work in a dry, well-lit area and use manufacturer-recommended tools.
– Always disconnect the battery before starting to prevent electrical damage.
– Inspect connectors and wiring harness for corrosion or mechanical damage before installing the new DRL.
– After installation, verify electrical connections and run a full function test (ignition on, DRL on, check for dashboard warnings).
– If the vehicle reports faults after replacement, clear fault codes and re-test; if faults persist, inspect wiring and control modules.
Most Common Failure Reasons
LED DRLs generally outlast traditional bulbs, but failures occur due to:
- Water ingress or condensation causing corrosion of contacts or internal electronics.
- Impact damage from collisions or road debris deforming the housing or optics.
- Faulty connectors or damaged wiring harnesses leading to intermittent operation or complete failure.
- Thermal stress or manufacturing defects in the LED driver circuitry.
Replacing the module with an OEM-compatible Valeo unit and ensuring proper sealing and connector condition will help restore reliable DRL function and prolong service life.
