Purpose and placement

The presented tail light is designed for installation on the right rear side of the vehicle, in the body side panel. It is responsible for the correct display of the position light, brake light, and turn signal, working in conjunction with other elements of the rear lighting system. Precise fitment to the body shape ensures that the factory body line is maintained after installation, and the gaps between the lamp and the bodywork remain uniform. This is important both from an aesthetic point of view and for protection against moisture ingress.

Technical characteristics and compatibility

As an element from the Rear lights and brake lights group, the lamp has been designed to work with the electrical installation and lighting control in Mercedes C-Class W204 generation models. The construction is based on factory mounting points, which facilitates installation and reduces the risk of errors during replacement. Original manufacturing ensures:

• maintenance of the correct light beam geometry,
• proper cooperation with lighting control sensors and modules,
• adequate tightness of the lens and housing. The lamp has a dedicated OEM part number and interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific vehicle equipment version without the need for installation modifications.

Condition, functionality, and installation benefits

The offered tail light is a used component, which allows for cost-effective restoration of the lighting system's efficiency while maintaining factory specifications. This solution is particularly practical for post-accident repairs or replacing a damaged lens after a parking collision. Key advantages of the product include:

• factory fitment to the body and electrical installation,
• possibility of installation in place of the original lamp without structural modifications,
• maintenance of the consistent styling of the rear of the vehicle,
• optimal cost-to-functionality ratio thanks to the use of a used part.

Practical application and safety

A properly functioning tail light has a direct impact on driving safety – clear brake lights and turn signals improve vehicle visibility for other road users. Replacing a damaged or leaking element with an original lamp from the same model series allows you to maintain compliance with homologation requirements and avoid errors in onboard diagnostic systems. By choosing this component, you gain consistency with the factory lighting design, which is important both for daily operation and for potential technical inspections or vehicle assessments after repair. If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the rear lighting zone in your Mercedes and need other elements from the same group, such as combination lamps, brake lights, or lighting modules, check the available parts in the Mercedes rear lights and brake lights category.
