Right Rear Tail Light For Citroën C1 Second Generation
This right rear tail light is a direct-fit replacement for Citroën C1 second generation models. Designed for professional workshops and experienced DIY mechanics, the lamp restores rear lighting functionality and exterior appearance after damage or wear. The unit is compatible with common factory mounting points and electrical connectors used on C1 II vehicles and is often searched by its product codes—use these numbers to quickly locate the correct part.
Key Benefits
Reliable fit and finish: The lamp matches the original mounting geometry to ensure straightforward installation and correct alignment with the body. Improved vehicle safety: Restores tail, stop and turn signal visibility on the right side to maintain legal roadworthiness. Time-saving for workshops: Fewer alignment adjustments and plug-and-play fitment in most cases, reducing labor time.
Technical Information
- Manufacturer: Citroën (Stellantis)
- Model: Citroën C1 Second Generation (C1 II)
- Product Codes: 81550-0H152
- Additional Numbers: B001031380
Installation Recommendations
- Prepare Tools: Basic hand tools (screwdrivers, torx/socket set) and a trim removal tool are typically required.
- Safety First: Disconnect the battery or isolate the circuit if working near powered connectors to avoid short circuits and accidental activation.
- Removal: Open tailgate, remove interior trim panel or access cover to reach mounting screws, unplug the electrical connector, and remove the retaining screws or nuts holding the lamp assembly.
- Fitment: Position the new lamp into the body opening, secure fasteners evenly, reconnect the electrical connector, and refit the interior trim. Check gaps and alignment to ensure proper sealing.
- Function Check: Verify all relevant functions (tail, brake, indicator and reverse if integrated) operate correctly before finalizing the job.
Most Common Reasons For Failure
- Impact Damage: Bumper or tailgate impacts crack the lens or deform the housing, allowing moisture ingress.
- Moisture Ingress: Seals or gaskets deteriorate over time, causing condensation, corrosion of contacts, or electrical faults.
- Connector Corrosion: Exposure to road salt and water can corrode pins and sockets, interrupting circuits.
- Bulb Failure or Solder Joint Fatigue: On filament-based units bulbs burn out; on assemblies with internal LEDs, solder joints or driver electronics can fail with age and thermal cycling.
- Mounting Fatigue: Repeated loading or improper past repairs can loosen fixings, leading to poor sealing and increased vibration damage.
Compatibility And Search Tips
When searching for this part, use the product code 81550-0H152 or the additional number B001031380 to improve accuracy. Also include the vehicle model “Citroën C1 Second Generation” or “C1 II” in search queries to narrow results. If a lamp appears visually identical but has a different connector or mounting points, verify compatibility before installation to avoid additional labor.
Notes For Professionals
Fitters should inspect the tailgate mounting surface and wiring harness for damage or corrosion at the time of replacement. Replace any degraded seals or clips to prevent premature failure. After installation, perform a final functional check under live conditions (brake and indicator operation) and inspect for water tightness where applicable.
