• an integrated plug socket, enabling quick connection to the vehicle's electrical system,
• the arrangement of current paths consistent with the factory lighting schematic.

This allows the component to work with the original Mercedes electrical system, without the need for wiring modifications or additional adapters.

Benefits of Using an Original Lamp Holder

Using the factory rear lamp holder in the Mercedes CLK C209 offers a number of practical operational benefits:

• secure electrical connections – reducing the risk of circuit interruptions, flickering lights, or overheating contacts,
• correct positioning of bulbs in the lamp reflector, which affects the clarity of light signals,
• easier diagnosis of potential lighting faults, by maintaining the factory wiring layout,
• consistency with the original Mercedes installation, which is important for technical inspections and repairs.

This solution is effective for both replacing a damaged socket after a collision and for repairing problems with the rear lamp power supply on the driver's side.

Product Characteristics and Installation

The offered component comes from the Mercedes group and is intended for installation in the rear left part of the vehicle. As a used part, it provides a practical alternative to new components, allowing for the preservation of original specifications at lower service costs. Installation involves:
