Compatibility
Fits Citroën Xsara Estate (Kombi) models. Often searched and identified by product code 6350J8 (also seen as 6350.J8). Verify bulb type before installation to ensure correct lamp operation.
How To Replace
- Open the tailgate and remove the interior trim to access the rear lamp assembly.
- Unscrew the lamp cluster securing screws and gently pull the assembly out to gain access to the bulb holders.
- Unplug the original socket from the wiring harness, note the wiring positions, and remove the old socket from the lamp unit (often by twisting or unclipping).
- Install the replacement socket into the lamp cluster, connect the wiring pigtail to the vehicle harness (match colors/positions), and check mechanical fit and electrical contact.
- Refit the lamp assembly and interior trim, then test all lamp functions (tail, brake, indicator) before completing the job.
- When replacing, inspect bulbs and lamp lens for signs of water ingress or corrosion that could affect longevity.
Installation Recommendations
- Work Methodically: Keep track of screw locations and wiring positions to ensure correct reassembly.
- Clean Contacts: If present, clean corroded terminals in the lamp housing before fitting the new socket to ensure good electrical connection.
- Secure Wiring: Route and secure the pigtail to avoid chafing or pinching when reassembling the lamp and trim.
- Test After Fitment: Verify all light functions operate correctly before delivering the vehicle back to the customer or completing the job.
Why This Part Fails
Socket failures are commonly caused by plastic aging and heat cycling that lead to cracking or deformation, corrosion of electrical contacts due to moisture ingress, poor contact caused by worn bulb bases, or damage from impact or wiring strain. Vehicles exposed to road salt and high humidity are particularly prone to terminal corrosion.
