Compatibility And Function
This assembly is intended for the right rear position (passenger side on left-hand drive vehicles) of Citroën C3 models from 2005. It performs essential rear-lighting functions including brake light, rear position light and indicator. The lamp is often searched by product code 6351X5. Note: Bulb holders/sockets are not included and must be sourced separately.
Replacement Procedure
Typical replacement steps: open the boot and remove the inner trim to access the lamp fasteners; remove screws or nuts securing the lamp; gently pull the lamp assembly outward and disconnect the wiring connector; fit the new lamp, reconnect the wiring and secure the fasteners; refit trim and test all light functions (brake, tail and indicator). Work carefully to avoid damaging paint or trim clips. For vehicles with sealed or glued units follow manufacturer-specific disassembly instructions.
Most Common Failure Causes
- Impact Damage: Minor collisions or parking knocks often crack the lens or break mounting tabs.
- Water Ingress: Degraded seals or hairline cracks allow moisture, causing bulb socket corrosion and electrical faults.
- Connector Corrosion: Oxidation on pins and sockets leads to intermittent operation or complete loss of function.
- Age And Vibration: Repeated stress can fracture clips, fasteners or internal mounts over time.
Installation Recommendations
Before installation inspect wiring, connector pins and bulb holders for corrosion. Replace worn or corroded bulb sockets and seals to prevent future water ingress. Use the correct bulb types and wattages as specified for your model. Align the lamp accurately and tighten fasteners to the correct torque—avoid overtightening to prevent housing damage. After fitting, verify all light functions and adjust if necessary.
