Purpose and function in the lighting system

The presented socket is part of the Rear lights and brake lights category and is responsible for connecting the electrical harness to the lamp on the rear right side of the vehicle. Its placement on the passenger side rear allows for the correct operation of functions such as position lights, brake lights, or turn signals, in accordance with the configuration used in a specific BMW 5 Series Touring E61 LCI model.

Thanks to its dedicated shape and connectors tailored to BMW installations, the socket enables quick assembly and maintains the factory wiring geometry, which reduces the risk of looseness, chafing, and electrical contact issues.

Construction and fitment for BMW E61 LCI Touring

The component has been designed specifically for the rear right lamp in the Touring body style after the facelift (LCI), meaning the socket construction is fully compatible with the factory mounting points and connectors in this model. Properly shaped bulb sockets and plug guides ensure the component is correctly seated in the lamp and that the harness is securely fastened.

Its original BMW origin helps maintain consistency with the rest of the vehicle's electrical system and minimizes the risk of problems typical of aftermarket replacements, such as poor fitment, loose contacts, or the need for wiring modifications.

Benefits of using an original lamp socket

Using a factory-original rear right lamp socket offers a number of practical benefits:

• maintaining compatibility with the BMW electrical system without the need for wire adaptation,
• stable contact connections, reducing the risk of flickering lights or intermittent operation,
• easier diagnostics of potential lighting faults thanks to the original design,
• the ability to restore the lamp's factory functionality after repairing or replacing a damaged socket.

This solution is particularly useful for post-collision repairs, issues with contact corrosion, or mechanical damage inside the lamp, where it is necessary to replace the socket and wiring rather than the entire lighting assembly.

Used condition and use in repairs

The offered item is in used condition, making it an attractive cost-effective alternative to new parts while maintaining original BMW specifications. Such components from disassembly allow for economical lighting system repairs, especially in older 5 Series models where the availability of new parts may be limited.
