7P6972276 Volkswagen BULBHOLDER

These little guys do exactly what they sound like – they hold the bulb securely in place, but they’re also electrical connectors. The wire from your car’s system runs into that holder, makes contact with the bulb, and then the bulb lights up. So it’s both a mechanical mount and part of the electrical circuit. You’ll find these all over – headlights, taillights, turn signals, even interior lights. Basically, anywhere a bulb needs to be connected to the car’s electrical system. They’re usually made of plastic or a similar material, and they fit snugly into the headlight or taillight housing, keeping everything lined up correctly. If one of these gets corroded, cracked, or just plain breaks, the light won’t work. Sometimes it’s an obvious failure, other times it might be intermittent—the light will flicker or go out only sometimes. Because they're also part of the electrical connection, a bad holder can cause resistance, which can actually overheat things. It acts like a shield, protecting the rest of the circuit. Replacing a faulty bulb holder is a relatively simple fix, and it's a lot cheaper than chasing down more complicated electrical problems. If you’re getting a light that won’t stay on, or a warning light on your dash, this is one of the first things we check. Fixparts Online carries a good selection of these, and they’re usually pretty straightforward to swap out yourself. You’ll notice if one's bad—the light will just not work consistently. Satisfaction guaranteed: Bulb Holder (MPN 7P6972276) comes with a 12-month warranty!
