Rear bulb holders for right and left tail lamps for Citroën C2. Includes a short section of wiring.
High-quality replacement rear bulb socket designed specifically for the Citroën C2. This socket secures the bulb in the tail lamp housing and provides the electrical contacts required for brake, tail, and indicator lights. Supplied with a short piece of wiring to simplify installation and ensure reliable contact. Ideal for professional auto workshops and DIY mechanics looking for a direct-fit repair part under references 6351S7 and 6350S7.
Function And Application
The bulb holder (socket) is responsible for mechanically holding the bulb and providing stable electrical connection between the vehicle wiring and the lamp. Correct operation is essential for brake light, tail light, and turn signal function. This part is used in the rear lamp assemblies on Citroën C2 models and fits both left and right tail lights.

Installation Recommendation
Replacement is straightforward for experienced mechanics and competent DIYers. Typical procedure:
- Remove the tail lamp assembly from the vehicle (access from the luggage compartment; keep trim and fasteners safe).
- Twist or unclip the old bulb socket from the lamp reflector and disconnect the wiring connector.
- Fit the new socket into the lamp housing, connect the wiring harness and secure the socket in place.
- Refit the lamp assembly, tighten fasteners to the correct torque, and test all light functions (tail, brake, indicator).
Use appropriate hand tools and check seals/gaskets to prevent water ingress. If wiring is brittle or corroded, replace or repair the harness section rather than stretching the new socket wiring. After installation, verify lamp alignment and function before finishing work.
Most Common Failure Causes
- Corrosion Of Contacts: Moisture ingress or salt buildup causes poor electrical contact and intermittent lighting.
- Heat Damage: Overheating from an incorrect bulb type or poor contact can melt plastic sockets and deform contacts.
- Mechanical Wear And Vibration: Repeated removal/installation or vibration can crack the plastic or loosen the connection.
- Water Ingress And Seal Failure: Damaged lamp seals allow water to reach the socket and wiring, accelerating corrosion.
Why Choose This Part
Direct-fit design for Citroën C2 makes replacement fast and reliable. Supplied with a short wiring tail to simplify reconnection and reduce the need for splicing. Suitable for both professional garages and competent DIY repairs where a durable, OEM-compatible socket is required.
Notes
Check bulb type and lamp condition when replacing the socket. Using the correct bulb wattage and ensuring the lamp housing is dry and sealed will extend service life. Follow safe workshop practices and use proper personal protective equipment during installation.
