Volkswagen Turn Signal Light Socket - Genuine VW 5M0953123A

Product Information

A turn signal light socket is the electrical connector that holds and powers the turn signal bulb within the vehicle’s lighting assembly. It ensures a secure fit for the bulb and provides the necessary electrical contact to activate the signal when engaged. A properly functioning socket is essential for reliable turn signal operation, which is critical for vehicle safety and communication with other drivers.

• Intermittent or non-functioning turn signal, often caused by poor electrical contact.
• Burnt or melted socket housing, due to overheating or electrical resistance.
• Corrosion or moisture buildup, leading to dim or flickering bulb operation.

About Genuine VW

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VW” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VW, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VW Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VW are not necessarily manufactured by VW. No cause for concern, as VW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming directly from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
