This unit provides the necessary legal illumination for the rear license plate, utilizing a robust, weather-sealed thermoplastic housing and a high-transparency diffusion lens to ensure clear, compliant light distribution. Designed to survive the harsh environment of the rear bumper\/tailgate area, it is resistant to moisture, road salt, and vibrational fatigue. Over years of service, the plastic lens may become opaque or yellowed from UV exposure, and the internal contacts often suffer from corrosion due to moisture ingress, which can lead to light failure and MOT\/inspection non-compliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e HELLA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2KA 002 445-111\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Condition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComponent Classification:\u003c\/strong\u003e License Plate Illumination Module\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBulb Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e C5W (Festoon type, typically 36mm or 38mm depending on specific application)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage [V]:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHousing Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Impact-resistant polycarbonate\/thermoplastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLens Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clear\/Translucent\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct screw-in or clip-fit (dependent on specific bumper\/hatch trim)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVehicle Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis license plate light assembly is a standard fitment across many iconic European platforms from the 1970s through the early 1990s:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eCar Model \/ Platform\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eApplication Context\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eProduction Era\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVW Golf Mk1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRear bumper or hatch trim mounting\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1974 - 1983\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVW Golf Mk2\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStandard lighting module\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1983 - 1992\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVW Scirocco Mk1 \/ Mk2\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStandard rear illumination\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1974 - 1992\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVW Polo \/ Derby\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eEarly classic models\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1975 - 1994\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e⚠️ \u003cstrong\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Electrical Maintenance Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e When replacing this unit, you will often find that the wiring spade connectors are green or brown due to 30+ years of oxidation. Before plugging the new light into your harness, \u003cstrong\u003egently clean the existing electrical contacts\u003c\/strong\u003e with a small brass wire brush and apply a tiny amount of dielectric grease. This ensures a reliable electrical connection and prevents the new unit from flickering or failing prematurely due to resistance-related heat buildup. Ensure that the rubber seal (if included) is seated perfectly flat against the bodywork to prevent water from wicking into the back of your hatch or bumper.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOriginal Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Reference Numbers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis HELLA unit is a direct replacement for the following original factory part numbers:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVAG (VW\/AUDI\/SEAT):\u003c\/strong\u003e 171943021, 171 943 021, 191943021, 191 943 021\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBOSCH (Interchange Reference):\u003c\/strong\u003e 0 311 000 001\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVALEO (Interchange Reference):\u003c\/strong\u003e 043236\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"hella","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57606842450303,"sku":"2KA 002 445-111","price":19.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/7252\/9023\/files\/thumb_3_f49dfa99-eb10-423e-95c4-08507c066ed8.jpg?v=1779636864","url":"https:\/\/klassik357.eu\/products\/hella-2ka-002-445-111-number-plate-light-for-vw-golf","provider":"Klassik357 - Classic and retro car parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
