OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — tail light (aftermarket) Van Wezel 0905933 / TYC 11-11382-11-2

Accuracy note: Covers the Citroen Berlingo (B9 2008-2018) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. Tail lights are handed (left and right are different parts) and the right one depends on whether your car has bulb or LED units, whether the cluster comes with its bulb holder, the body style and the facelift date. The references below are UK aftermarket catalogue listings for this generation, labelled by brand with the fitment details the catalogue gives, and shown for the left-hand light with its right-hand pair where the catalogue names one. Carmakers rarely publish the genuine number against these, so order a genuine light against your VIN if you want a guaranteed match; if the unit on your car has a separate inner light on the tailgate, that is sold as its own part.

A Genuinely Important Fact: A Submerged Light Can Damage More Than Just Looks — Citroen Berlingo Tail Lights

It's worth knowing that persistent water ingress in a headlight isn't purely cosmetic — the headlight levelling motor is positioned low down inside the housing, meaning if water accumulates enough, it can submerge and damage this component directly, causing a genuine electrical fault rather than just an unsightly puddle inside the lens. If you're seeing standing water inside a headlight that's more than light misting, it's worth addressing promptly rather than leaving it.

A genuinely important consumer point worth knowing: one documented case saw an owner's headlight fill with condensed water to over half full within days of a garage service and MOT — despite the owner confirming the light was completely dry immediately beforehand. Incorrectly reseated covers or panels during unrelated work are a genuine, documented cause of new water ingress appearing shortly after a service — if this happens to you, it's worth raising the timing directly with whoever did the work.

A genuinely useful, real DIY fix worth trying for existing condensation: remove the bulb and use a vacuum cleaner (ideally on the warm air/blow setting if available) to dry out the inside of the unit thoroughly, leaving any venting cap on the back of the unit off during this process specifically to help moisture escape. Some owners have also had success confirming the rear cover was correctly seated and sealed in the first place — a cover that's simply been refitted slightly wrong can be the entire cause.

Citroen Berlingo Tail Lights: More Wiring Behind There Than Most People Assume

The Citroen Berlingo's tail light unit typically bundles several functions into one housing — brake light, indicator, reversing light and rear fog light — which means a single electrical fault can affect more than one function at once, and a "faulty tail light" can mean several genuinely different things.

Before you buy: tail light design and bulb type vary by trim and facelift status. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

Citroen Berlingo Tail Lights: What It Does

Beyond basic rear visibility, tail light units on the Berlingo typically integrate brake lights, indicators, reversing lights and rear fog lights into a single housing. Higher trims may use LED units with a distinct light signature, which are not interchangeable with standard halogen units even if the physical mounting looks similar.

Fitment & Compatibility

Citroen Berlingo Tail Lights: Generations & Tail Light Type

Standard trims	Halogen bulb-based units as standard
Higher trims, later model years	LED tail lights become available further up the range, genuinely a different assembly and connector from the halogen units on lower trims

Tail light design changed between generations of the Berlingo, and facelifted versions within the same generation often use a revised light signature that isn't interchangeable with pre-facelift units. Always confirm the exact part for your specific model year before ordering. Whether you're sourcing a replacement tail lights for your Citroen Berlingo from a dealer, specialist, or online marketplace, always check compatibility against your registration or VIN before buying, and confirm you're ordering the correct side — driver's side (RH in the UK) or passenger side (LH in the UK) — since these are not interchangeable.
