Product Description
Genuine Volkswagen Tail Light Socket & Bulb Holder Plate
Restore the proper operation and electrical connectivity of your rear lighting system with this Genuine Volkswagen Tail Light Socket Plate (MPN: 1K9-945-257). Also known as a bulb holder or tail lamp socket board, this factory-original OEM component houses and routes power to the rear bulbs, ensuring your brake lights, turn signals, and reverse lights illuminate reliably.
