Application And Fitment
Fits Peugeot 307 Estate variants (often referenced as Combi or SW) across first and second generation body styles where the high-level stop lamp with integrated washer is used. Commonly sought by mechanics and DIYers under the product code 6350Q2.
Function And Typical Faults
The third brake light provides a centrally positioned, high-mounted stop signal to increase visibility and reduce rear-end collisions. Typical failure modes include bulb or LED element burnout, connector corrosion, damage from impacts or tailgate misalignment, and water ingress if seals are compromised. In this specific unit a slight hairline crack near the washer area is present but the assembly remains fully sealed and resistant to fogging.
Replacement Procedure
- Open the tailgate and remove the interior trim panel to access the lamp assembly.
- Unscrew or unclip the mounting fasteners securing the lamp; keep track of clips and screws.
- Carefully unplug the electrical connector and release any washer hose if applicable.
- Remove the old unit and install the new lamp, ensuring the sealing surface is clean and the washer nozzle is correctly positioned.
- Reconnect the electrical connector, reattach the trim panel and test the brake light and washer function before finishing.
Installation Recommendations
- Disconnect the battery or isolate the circuit before starting work to avoid short circuits when handling electrical connectors.
- Handle the lens and connector gently to avoid damaging seals or wiring; inspect the wiring harness and connector for corrosion and clean as necessary.
- Ensure the mating surfaces are free of dirt and old sealant to maintain the unit’s watertight properties.
- Test operation of the brake light and washer after installation and confirm proper sealing by checking for water entry after a wash or light spray.
Why This Part Typically Fails
Third brake lights most commonly fail due to impact damage from tailgate closings, minor collisions, or stress around the washer aperture. Over time, seals can degrade and allow moisture into the unit, causing corrosion or LED/bulb failure. Connector corrosion and wiring wear are frequent causes in higher-mileage vehicles.
