Purpose and function in the lighting system

The described item is a socket with wiring for the left rear lamp in the Mercedes B-Class W245 generation. It is responsible for a stable electrical connection of the parking light, brake light, turn signal, or reversing light bulbs to the vehicle's installation, which is crucial for safety and compliance with traffic regulations.

Thanks to its dedicated placement on the rear left side, the component is matched to the W245 body structure, which facilitates installation and minimizes the risk of installation errors. Factory-spec connector geometry ensures secure seating in the lamp and proper wire routing.

Construction and technical compatibility

The socket has been designed as a component of the Mercedes lighting system, with appropriately selected connectors and wires that work with the driver-side rear lamp. The construction includes:

• dedicated mounting in the rear lamp housing,
• integrated sockets for individual bulbs,
• factory wire terminations for connection to the vehicle's wiring harness.

The presence of the OEM part number and interchangeable numbers (visible in the technical specification) facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific car configuration and the selection of the correct part for replacement.

Condition, application, and benefits of installation

The item is offered as a used part, which allows for an economical repair of the lighting system while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. This solution is particularly beneficial when the socket, wires, or contacts have been damaged, while the lamp itself remains in good condition.

Replacing the left rear lamp socket is recommended in cases such as:

• intermittent operation of parking or brake lights,
• signs of overheating or corrosion on the contacts,
• mechanical damage to the housing or wires.

Using an original component from dismantling helps maintain the integrity of the electrical system and reduces the risk of compatibility issues that may occur with low-quality aftermarket replacements.
