About part number LR187478

A rear tail light assembly forms part of the exterior lighting system on a vehicle. Located at the back corner of the bodywork, it houses the lamps that illuminate when the position lights are on, when the brakes are applied, and when indicating a turn. When working correctly, it displays clear, bright signals to following traffic and ensures the vehicle remains clearly visible at night and in poor weather.

To ensure this is the correct item for your vehicle, you must check that the manufacturer part number LR187478 matches the number printed, stamped, or labeled on your original unit. On a rear light assembly, this part number is usually found molded into the plastic housing on the rear casing or printed on a sticker attached to the back. Matching this exact number is the only way to confirm correct fitment and electrical compatibility.

Rear light units are usually replaced due to cracked or damaged lenses caused by minor rear impacts, or because moisture has entered the housing and corroded the internal electrical contacts. When fitting a replacement unit, a technician typically checks the condition of the wiring connector plug and seals the unit to prevent water ingress. Replacement bulbs or mounting clips are also commonly required during installation.

About this kind of part: rear lamps

A rear lamp holds several separate functions in one housing: the tail light, the brake light, the indicator, the reversing light and the rear fog light. On most cars one lamp carries the reversing light and the other carries the rear fog light, so the two sides are not mirror images of each other in what they actually do. The light source is a bulb or a set of light-emitting diodes, and a diode lamp cannot be converted to bulbs.

Why people replace one

  • The lens has cracked, usually from a knock while reversing, and water has got into the housing.
  • The red lens has faded to pink where it has stood in the sun, which shows most on an older car.
  • A diode section has gone dark in patches, which cannot be repaired because the diodes are sealed into the unit.
  • The housing is sound but a mounting stud or lug has broken, so the lamp no longer pulls up tight against its seal and lets water past.
  • Condensation sits inside after rain, because a bulb holder seal or a breather has perished.

Fitting it

  • Most rear lamps are reached from inside the boot or the tailgate aperture, behind a trim panel or a removable cover.
  • The lamp is held by two or three nuts on studs and then pulls straight back out of its locating pegs.
  • The foam or rubber seal around the back of the lamp is what keeps water out of the boot. If it has hardened, water will find its way in whatever else is done.
  • On a car with diode lamps the car may watch the current drawn by each function, so a mismatched unit can log a fault.

Making sure it is the right one

  • Match the part number, not the side of the car. The reversing light and the rear fog light sit on opposite sides, and markets that drive on the left put them the other way round from markets that drive on the right, so a lamp can look like the wrong side and still be the correct part.
  • A bulb lamp and a diode lamp for the same model share the aperture and will bolt in, but the car will not operate them correctly and the connector differs.
  • Count the connector pins and compare the block shape with your own lamp.
  • Compare the pattern of the lens sections. A facelift often reshapes the internal pattern while keeping the outer shape, so the number is the only reliable test.

What to look for in the photographs

A Part number — On a printed label on the back of the housing, or moulded into the plastic near the connector.
B Connector block — The plug on the back. Count the pins and compare the shape, because a bulb unit and a diode unit differ here.
C Function layout — Which section is the reversing light and which is the rear fog light. These sit on opposite sides of the car, and the other way round in markets that drive on the other side of the road.
D Mounting studs and lugs — The threaded studs and locating pegs on the back. A broken one means the lamp cannot be pulled tight against its seal.
E Seal face — The foam or rubber seal around the back edge. This is what keeps water out of the boot.
F Lens surface — Look at the lens at an angle rather than straight on, which shows up fine crazing and any fading that a flat photograph hides.
