Purpose and Function in the Land Rover Discovery Sport L550

The presented 12V cigarette lighter socket is a component of the power supply system for additional receivers in the Land Rover Discovery Sport L550 cabin. It allows for the connection of chargers, inverters, and other compatible devices, maintaining the standard car socket interface. The design intended for a specific body model ensures proper seating in the panel and a stable connection with the factory wiring harness.

As part of the Car Sockets and Lighters group, this component is responsible for safely providing onboard voltage in a location convenient for the driver and passengers, without the need for universal adapters or electrical modifications.

Construction and Compatibility with the Electrical System

The socket is designed as an OEM part, meaning it complies with the factory dimensional and electrical standards for the Discovery Sport L550. It includes a mounting body adapted for installation in a dedicated opening and an electrical connector compatible with the vehicle's original wiring harness. This configuration facilitates installation and reduces the risk of looseness, contact overheating, or improper connection.

This solution is particularly beneficial when replacing a worn or mechanically damaged socket, as it preserves the factory appearance of the interior and maintains consistency with other console elements. Original fitment also minimizes the risk of damage to upholstery and plastics during installation.

• secure electrical connection thanks to a design intended for the specific model,
• reduced risk of overheating and sparking compared to universal solutions,
• easier system diagnostics in case of potential faults.

For users who frequently use chargers, navigation systems, or other accessories, a functional 12V socket is an important element for travel comfort. Factory design promotes stable operation under load and improves the ergonomics of daily vehicle use.

Characteristics as a Used Part

The offered socket is a used part, meaning it has been dismantled and verified for its suitability for further use.
