Description
Bulb socket for the right rear lamp for PEUGEOT 3008 first generation facelift. Passenger side. With a short piece of wiring.
Description
This bulb socket is a direct-fit replacement part designed for the right rear (passenger side) tail light of the PEUGEOT 3008 first generation facelift. Supplied with a short section of wiring harness, it restores a reliable electrical connection between the bulb and the vehicle loom. Ideal for professional workshops and DIY mechanics who need a fast, cost-effective repair for a faulty tail light connector.
Benefits
- Restores secure electrical contact for tail, brake and indicator bulbs
- Supplied with wiring piece to simplify installation and avoid splicing where possible
- Durable plastic and terminal design to resist vibration and heat from bulbs
- Improves road safety by eliminating flicker and intermittent lighting faults

Recommended Installation
Before starting, turn off vehicle lights and allow hot bulbs to cool. Basic installation steps for an experienced mechanic or competent DIYer:
- Remove the rear lamp assembly fasteners (usually accessible from the boot area) and carefully extract the lamp cluster.
- Unplug the existing bulb socket from the lamp reflector. If the socket is hard-wired, cut the cable close to the socket and prepare wiring ends for reconnection.
- Fit the new socket into the lamp reflector and connect the supplied wiring piece to the vehicle loom using appropriate connectors (insulated crimp terminals or solder and heat-shrink tubing recommended).
- Check polarity and secure connections. Replace bulbs if worn or showing signs of overheating.
- Reinstall the lamp assembly and verify operation of tail, brake and indicator functions before road use.
Use dielectric grease on terminals to reduce future corrosion. Avoid excessive force when inserting the socket into the lamp housing to prevent damage to plastic lugs.
Why This Part Fails
Common failure modes include:
- Corrosion of electrical contacts due to moisture ingress, causing intermittent lighting or open circuits.
- Plastic deformation or melting from excessive heat when bulbs are overpowered or mis-specified.
- Broken or brittle wiring from vibration and age, leading to loose connections.
- Poor contact caused by worn terminals or contamination from road salts and dirt.
Symptoms that indicate replacement: flickering or non-functioning rear lamps, visible burning or melting at the socket, or a loose fit between socket and bulb.
Practical Tips
- Always test the new socket with the correct specification bulb (check bulb type in vehicle manual).
- Replace both sides if the opposite socket shows similar age-related wear to ensure consistent performance.
- Secure any exposed wiring and protect joints with heat-shrink and proper routing to avoid chafing.
Safety
Work in a well-lit area and take standard electrical safety precautions. If unsure about wiring or connector techniques, have the replacement carried out by a qualified technician.
