Purpose and vehicle placement

The presented lamp is dedicated to installation in the rear right part of the body, within the tail light assembly zone. The placement on the vehicle defined as rear – right side means that the component works with the factory electrical installation and body structure without the need for mounting modifications.

Thanks to the preservation of the original housing geometry and mounting points, the tail lamp fits factory holes and seals, which facilitates correct alignment with the body lines and other lighting elements.

Function in the Tail lights and brake lights system

The lamp belongs to the Tail lights and brake lights category, responsible for vehicle visibility from the rear and for clearly signaling braking. A properly functioning tail lamp:

• increases the readability of light signals for drivers behind you,
• reduces the risk of collisions in night conditions and poor visibility,
• maintains vehicle compliance with lighting regulation requirements.

The original design of the lamp is matched to the styling of the BMW E81/E87 series models, ensuring that a consistent look of the rear bodywork is maintained after replacement.

Product characteristics and advantages of use

The tail lamp was designed by BMW as a lighting system component matched to a specific body generation. Using an original lamp ensures:

• compatibility with the factory wiring harness and connectors,
• proper light diffusion for position and brake lights,
• visual consistency with the left tail lamp and other lighting elements.

The product is offered in a used condition, which provides a reasonable compromise between repair costs and maintaining original manufacturing quality. It is a practical solution for maintenance repairs where matching a specific model and year is crucial.

Professional selection and installation

To correctly select the lamp for a specific vehicle, it is worth verifying compatibility with BMW technical documentation and manufacturer markings. The product has assigned part numbers and interchangeable numbers, which facilitates identification in catalogs and service systems. It is recommended to entrust the installation to a workshop experienced with BMW bodywork and electrical systems, which will ensure tightness, correct lamp alignment, and proper operation of all lighting functions.
