NISSAN 62228-61A00 Rear Lamp Retaining Clip

Genuine OEM Nissan (OEM: 62228-61A00) rear lamp retaining clip. This professional fastener ensures secure, stable, and vibration-free mounting of the rear lamp assembly to the vehicle body.

Function and Importance

The rear lamp retaining clip plays a vital role in the precise positioning of the lighting assembly, maintaining factory panel gaps between body components. Proper retention prevents moisture, dust, and other contaminants from entering the cavities behind the light cluster, thereby protecting electrical connectors from corrosion. In addition, it effectively dampens driving vibrations, extending the service life of halogen bulbs and LED modules.
