Important Rear Light Type Information

Volkswagen used different rear lamp configurations depending on:

* Model year

* Tailgate or twin rear barn-door arrangement

* Rear lamp manufacturer

* Body specification

* Production revision

Because of this, please confirm the part number stamped on your bulb holder before ordering.

If your original holder is marked 7H0945258A, this is the strongest match.

Technical Information

The bulb holder fits into the rear lamp housing and provides the mounting points and electrical contacts for the rear-light bulbs.

Its main functions include:

* Holding bulbs securely in the correct position

* Providing electrical contact to each bulb

* Connecting the rear light cluster to the vehicle wiring loom

* Maintaining correct bulb alignment inside the lamp housing

* Allowing straightforward bulb replacement

* Distributing power and earth connections across the lamp functions

Depending on lamp specification, it can support functions such as:

* Tail / side light

* Brake light

* Rear indicator

* Reverse light

* Rear fog light where configured on that side

Rear Lighting System Information

The bulb carrier works together with:

* Rear lamp lens / housing

* Individual bulbs

* Wiring loom

* Electrical connector

* Vehicle lighting switch

* Fuses

* Body control / lighting circuits

A damaged bulb holder can create lighting faults even when the bulbs themselves are serviceable.

Common Symptoms / Reasons for Replacement

Replacement may be required if:

* One or more rear lights work intermittently

* Bulbs repeatedly lose contact

* Electrical contacts are corroded

* Bulb sockets are heat damaged

* Plastic carrier is cracked

* Connector pins are burnt or discoloured

* Bulbs feel loose in their sockets

* Rear lights flicker

* Brake / tail / indicator lamp warning occurs

* Water ingress has damaged the electrical tracks

Important Diagnostic Information

Before replacing the bulb holder, also inspect:

* Bulbs

* Rear lamp connector

* Vehicle wiring

* Earth connection

* Lamp housing for water ingress

* Fuses

* Corrosion on terminals

If several functions fail at the same time, a poor earth or damaged main connector may be responsible rather than the individual bulbs.

Burnt or melted areas around a bulb socket usually indicate excessive resistance or poor electrical contact.

Installation

Typical installation involves:

1. Opening the rear door or tailgate.

2. Accessing the rear lamp assembly.

3. Removing the lamp or rear access cover as required.

4. Disconnecting the electrical connector.

5. Releasing the existing bulb holder from the lamp housing.

6. Transferring serviceable bulbs if required.

7. Installing the replacement carrier.

8. Reconnecting the electrical connector.

9. Testing all rear lighting functions.

The carrier should sit correctly inside the lamp without forcing the retaining tabs.

Programming / Coding

No programming or coding is normally required.

This is a conventional rear-light electrical carrier.

After fitting, simply check operation of:

* Tail lights

* Brake lights

* Indicators

* Reverse light

* Rear fog light where applicable

Important Compatibility Note

Before ordering, please compare:

* Part number stamped on the holder

* Likely OE reference 7H0945258A

* Rear right / O/S position

* Bulb socket arrangement

* Electrical track layout

* Connector shape

* Mounting tabs

* Rear lamp housing

* Tailgate / rear-door configuration

* Your original part against the listing photographs
