Lamp Sockets & Pig Tails Information

Why are Lamp Sockets & Pig Tails Part(s) Important

A vehicle’s Lamp Sockets and Pig Tails will help you avoid driving into trouble—literally. If you can’t see where you’re going, you won’t get far. The primary component in lighting your path is the headlight. But every light on your car—down to the accessory bulb that illuminates your license plate light is absolutely necessary for safe operation. Being seen is almost as necessary as seeing which is why your taillights are of such vital importance. Your brake lights which are usually housed in your taillight assembly take this safety one step further by alerting those behind you that the distance between you and them is about to disappear. Likewise lamp sockets and pig tails bolster your automotive lighting to make your vehicle as safe as possible.

The lamp sockets and pig tails of your vehicle support all your lighting. From your headlights to your dome lights, no bulb can be changed unless the pig tail and socket are in working condition. The pig tails are the portion of the wire harness that is dedicated to that particular light socket. The light socket is the housing for the bulb. Most bulbs will either snap or twist-lock into place, this will ensure that they are properly mounted (they won’t fall out) but also that the contact points on the bulb will make contact with the contact points on the light socket which deliver the power from the wire harness pig tail.
