• Versatile Mounting Options: The lamp features a standard mounting bracket that fits both left and right rear positions. For vehicles requiring a dedicated light holder, the unit can be installed with an optional lamp carrier (lampenträger), providing additional flexibility for aftermarket modifications.
• Long Lifespan: With an expected operational life of over 30,000 hours, the lamp outlasts many conventional halogen units. Its LED design also eliminates the need for frequent bulb replacements, reducing maintenance costs.

Compatibility and Applications

The Van Wezel 4028921 rear lamp is engineered to fit a variety of models within the Peugeot and Citroën families. Common applications include:

• Peugeot 206 (1998‑2003 Phase 1) – both left and right rear positions.
• Citroën C4, C5, and other compact cars that use the 6350P1 or 6350K4 lamp specifications.
• Custom builds and aftermarket conversions where a reliable, high‑quality tail light is required.

Because of its modular design, the unit can also be paired with the Magneti Marelli LLH612 rearlight system for vehicles that originally employed this configuration. This compatibility ensures that owners can upgrade their lighting without extensive rewiring or component replacement.

Installation Guide

Installing the Van Wezel 4028921 rear lamp is straightforward and can be completed with basic automotive tools:

1. Remove the existing tail light assembly: Use a flathead screwdriver to pry off the trim panel, then unscrew the mounting bolts that secure the old lamp.
2. Disconnect electrical connectors: Carefully detach the wiring harness from the rear of the old unit. Note the orientation for correct reconnection.
3. Mount the new lamp: Align the lamp carrier (if used) with the mounting holes, then secure it using the supplied bolts. Ensure that the housing sits flush against the vehicle’s body to maintain aerodynamic integrity.
4. Reconnect wiring: Attach the harness to the new lamp’s connector, making sure all pins are correctly aligned and seated.
5. Test functionality: Before reassembling the trim panel, activate the vehicle’s lighting system to confirm that the rear lamp illuminates properly. Check for correct color temperature and beam pattern.

Once satisfied, replace the trim panel and tighten all fasteners. The new rear lamp should now provide reliable illumination under all driving conditions.

Maintenance Tips

• Regularly inspect the lamp housing for cracks or signs of wear. Replace immediately if any damage is detected to avoid compromising safety.
• Clean the lens with a soft, non‑abrasive cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the polycarbonate material.
• Check the electrical connections periodically for corrosion or loose contacts. Tighten as necessary to maintain consistent performance.
