VW License Lamp Assembly - Genuine VW 5N0943021B

Product Information

A license plate light is a small light or set of lights positioned above or near the rear license plate on a vehicle. Its primary function is to illuminate the license plate at night or in low-light conditions, ensuring that the plate remains visible to other drivers and law enforcement. These lights are usually connected to the vehicle's lighting system, turning on automatically when the headlights or parking lights are activated.

• License Plate Light Not Illuminating: The most obvious symptom of a failing license plate light is that it does not turn on. This could be due to a burned-out bulb, an electrical issue, or a failed light assembly
• Dim or Flickering Light: A dim or flickering license plate light often indicates a bulb that is about to fail or a loose electrical connection, which can reduce visibility of the license plate

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.
