• Part Type: Rear Light – engineered to meet OEM specifications for rear lighting systems.
• Weight: 3 kg – lightweight construction that reduces overall vehicle load while maintaining durability.
• Quantity: 1 piece – each unit is a complete assembly ready for installation.

Compatibility and Applications

The lamp is engineered to fit seamlessly into a wide range of commercial vehicles. Its design aligns with the original equipment (OE) specifications, ensuring that it can replace or upgrade existing rear lighting systems without modification.

• MAN TGE Platforms: Suitable for chassis and platform models ranging from 2.0 TDI to 3.5‑T configurations.
• Mercedes‑Benz Sprinter: Compatible with 3.5‑T, 4‑T, and 5‑T variants, including both standard and extended chassis.
• VW Crafter: Fits 30‑50 series models (2L, 2.5L) as well as larger commercial configurations.

Model Variants

The rear lamp is available in multiple naming conventions that reflect its application and orientation:

• Combination Rearlight – integrates both tail light and brake light functions.
• Heckleuchte (German) – the German term for rear lamp, used in European documentation.
• Fanale posteriore (Italian) – Italian designation for rear lamp.
• Faro trasero (Spanish) – Spanish terminology for rear lamp.

Installation and Maintenance

Installing the Rear Lamp involves a straightforward process that aligns with standard vehicle maintenance procedures:

1. Remove Existing Assembly: Carefully detach the current rear light unit, noting any wiring connections.
2. Connect Wiring Harness: Attach the new lamp’s harness to the vehicle’s electrical system, ensuring secure contacts.
3. Secure Mounting Bracket: Align the mounting bracket with the vehicle’s rear frame and fasten using supplied hardware.
4. Test Functionality: Verify that all lighting functions (indicator, brake, reverse) operate correctly before finalizing installation.

Maintenance Tips

• Regularly inspect the bulb for signs of wear or discoloration; replace if necessary to maintain optimal brightness.
• Keep the lens and housing clean using a mild detergent solution to prevent glare and ensure clear visibility.
• Check electrical connections periodically to avoid loose contacts that could impair lighting performance.
