Typical Function And Failure Modes
The third brake light serves as a high-mounted stop lamp that provides a clear signal to following traffic when the driver applies the brakes. Common failure causes include bulb burnout (where applicable), LED module failure on later production units, water ingress and corrosion of contacts, damaged wiring or connector problems due to wear or impact, and physical damage from tailgate collisions. Regular visual inspection and ensuring seals and connectors are intact will extend the service life.
Replacement Interval
There is no fixed interval for replacing the high-mounted stop lamp; replacement is usually carried out when the lamp fails, shows intermittent operation, or the lens/assembly is physically damaged. In typical conditions, incandescent bulbs may last several years, while LED modules generally deliver longer service life but are more sensitive to electrical faults and water ingress.
Installation Recommendations
Recommended for experienced mechanics or competent DIYers. Basic replacement steps:
- Open the tailgate and remove the internal trim panel to access the lamp housing.
- Unscrew the fasteners securing the third brake light assembly (retain screws for reuse if undamaged).
- Disconnect the electrical connector carefully—avoid pulling on wires.
- Remove the old assembly and fit the new unit into the tailgate aperture, aligning clips or screw holes.
- Reconnect the connector and test the brake light operation (apply brake pedal or have an assistant operate the brake while you observe).
- Reinstall the trim panel and verify that all fasteners and seals are correctly seated to prevent water ingress.
Always follow vehicle manufacturer guidance for access and fastening torque where provided. Before starting work, isolate the electrical system according to safe working practices (e.g., park vehicle, ignition off). Avoid forcing connectors or overtightening fasteners to prevent damage.
Why This Part Most Commonly Fails
Failures are most often due to bulb burnout (on non-LED versions), moisture penetration causing corrosion of contacts or internal circuitry, impact damage to the tailgate area, or wiring/connector fatigue from repeated tailgate movement. Poor sealing after previous repairs can accelerate failures via condensation and corrosion.
Buying Advice
When searching or ordering, use the part code 6350P5 to locate the correct third brake light for Peugeot 307 hatchback. Choose quality replacement units and check the condition of connectors and tailgate seals during installation to avoid early re-failure. Suitable for workshop replacement and for skilled DIY repairers looking for a reliable, direct-fit solution.
