- Model: Peugeot 206 Estate (Combi)
- Product Codes: 6351R4
- Additional Numbers: Not Specified
Compatibility And Application
Intended for the right rear lamp of Peugeot 206 Combi (Estate) rear light assemblies. Suits repairs where the original socket or short section of wiring is damaged, corroded or has poor contact. Always verify physical match to the lamp assembly during installation.
Installation Recommendations
- Disconnect Battery Before Work: Always disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting electrical repairs to avoid short circuits.
- Access Tail Light Assembly: Open the boot and remove the interior trim or access panel behind the right tail light to reach the lamp unit.
- Remove Lamp Unit: Unscrew or unclip the tail light assembly and withdraw it slightly to gain access to the bulb holders and connector.
- Unplug Old Socket: Disconnect the main connector and remove the old bulb holders/socket from the lamp cluster. Note orientation of bulbs and wire routing.
- Fit New Socket And Wiring: Install the new socket into the lamp assembly, route the delivered wiring piece as original, and reconnect the main connector.
- Test Functionality: Reconnect the battery and test all lamp functions (tail, brake, indicator, reverse if applicable) before refitting trim.
- Final Check: Secure wiring to prevent chafing and fit the lamp assembly back into the body, ensuring a weatherproof fit.
- Good Practice: Apply a small amount of dielectric grease to contacts to reduce future corrosion and ensure reliable contact.
Why This Part Typically Fails
- Corrosion And Moisture Ingress: Water penetration and corrosion are the most common causes of poor contact in bulb holders and connectors, especially in older vehicles or where seals have degraded.
- Overheating And Melted Contacts: Poor connections or incorrect bulbs with higher current draw can heat and deform plastic sockets, causing intermittent or permanent failure.
- Mechanical Damage And Vibration: Repeated vibration, impact from minor collisions, or rough handling during repairs can break contacts or wires.
- Wiring Wear And Rodent Damage: Chafing against bodywork or chewed wires may short or interrupt the circuit feeding the lamp.
- Aging And Material Degradation: Plastic and contact surfaces degrade over time, increasing resistance and reducing reliability.
Practical Tips
- When replacing the socket, also inspect bulbs, fuses and the lamp lens seals to prevent repeat failures.
- Use OEM-equivalent bulbs and secure wiring away from heat sources and moving parts.
- After installation, confirm all light functions from both inside and outside the vehicle to ensure correct operation.
