Parts for your 2017 Haval H6-Tail lights

2017 Haval H6 tail-lights — purpose, care and replacement

Tail-lights are fitted to the 2017 Haval H6 and are legally required. This is supported by the 2017 Haval H6 Owner’s Manual (exterior lighting and bulb replacement sections), Australian Design Rules for lighting installation and lamp performance (ADR 13/00 and ADR 49/00), and New Zealand’s Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Lighting 2004, which all mandate rear position (tail) lamps on passenger vehicles.

On the H6, the tail-lights provide rear position lighting so other road users can see the vehicle at night and in poor weather, and they usually share the housing with the stop lamps and indicators. Depending on trim and market, the H6 may use conventional replaceable bulbs or LED modules, either way, the goal is the same: clear, reliable rear visibility that keeps the car compliant for rego/WOF and, more importantly, safe.

As part of regular servicing, a quick light check is smart: turn the park/headlights on and confirm both tail-lights glow evenly, then press the brake to check stop-lamps. If one side looks dim, flickers, or doesn’t light, sort it before it earns a defect or WOF fail.

• Bulb-based lamps: Access is typically via the rear quarter/boot trim. Remove the lamp fasteners, twist out the bulb holder, and replace the bulb with the exact type and wattage specified in the H6 owner’s manual or an OE-equivalent catalogue. Don’t touch the glass with bare fingers, use a tissue or gloves.
• LED-equipped lamps: LEDs are long-lived, but if an LED segment fails, the fix is usually a complete lamp assembly. Check warranty/consumer guarantees and use genuine or ADR-compliant parts.
• Electrical checks: If a new bulb doesn’t work, inspect the relevant fuse, the earth (ground) connection, and the harness plug for corrosion or looseness. A dab of dielectric grease on terminals helps keep moisture at bay.
• Lenses and sealing: Cracks, haze, or condensation reduce brightness. Replace cracked lenses/housings and ensure gaskets and venting are intact, mild exterior haze can be polished, but deep crazing calls for a new lamp.
• Upgrades: If considering “LED globes”, choose ADR/NZ-compliant options that won’t cause CANBUS bulb-out warnings. Avoid overly tinted or non-compliant lenses—they’re an easy fail.

For best results, replace bulbs in pairs so brightness and colour match across the rear, and always test all rear lights—tail, brake, reverse and indicators—before hitting the road.

Popular question: What bulb type does the 2017 Haval H6 use for its tail-lights?
It can vary by trim and market. Many H6s use a dual-filament bulb for combined tail/stop, while others use LED modules. The sure-fire method is to check the owner’s manual or match by VIN with a dealer or trusted parts supplier to get the correct wattage and fitment.

Popular question: Why is my H6 tail-light dim or foggy?
Common causes include an ageing bulb, poor earth connection, lens haze, or moisture inside the housing. Clean the contacts, replace the bulb or lamp as needed, and ensure the housing seal and vents are intact to prevent condensation returning.

Popular question: Can the H6 be upgraded to LED tail-lights?
Yes, but stick to ADR/NZ-compliant components. For bulb-style housings, use approved LED replacements compatible with the vehicle’s monitoring so you don’t trigger warnings or end up with illegal light output. For full LED assemblies, choose quality units designed for the H6.
