8-Pin 1.5/2.8mm Tail Light Connector OEM 7282-6448-40 / 7283-6448-40 / 7297-2874-30 – Jaguar Land Rover
Direct OEM-specification replacement for the 8-pin mixed-pitch (1.5mm + 2.8mm) unsealed connector used on rear tail light / lamp assemblies across Jaguar and Land Rover platforms. Cross-references Yazaki OEM numbers 7282-6448-40 (female housing), 7283-6448-40 (male housing), and 7297-2874-30 (alternate reference). The mixed 1.5mm/2.8mm pitch design is specific to Jaguar/Land Rover rear lamp harnesses — the 2.8mm pins carry higher-current brake and reverse lamp circuits while 1.5mm pins handle signal and indicator circuits.

Q: Why does my Jaguar/Land Rover show multiple rear lamp faults at once?
A: Multiple simultaneous rear lamp faults on Jaguar/Land Rover are frequently caused by a single corroded 8-pin connector rather than multiple failed bulbs or modules. The 8-pin connector carries all rear lamp circuits — brake, reverse, tail, indicator, fog, and LIN bus — through one housing. Corrosion on the ground pins (7 and 8) causes all circuits to malfunction simultaneously.
Q: What is the difference between 7282-6448-40 and 7283-6448-40?
A: 7282-6448-40 is the female housing (vehicle harness side); 7283-6448-40 is the male housing (lamp assembly side). The -40 suffix denotes the Yazaki color/variant code for this specific application. You need both halves for a complete connector repair.
Q: Why is this connector unsealed if it’s on the exterior of the vehicle?
A: The 7282-6448-40 connector is located inside the tail light assembly housing, not exposed directly to weather. The lamp assembly itself provides the environmental seal. The connector is unsealed because it operates in a protected interior environment within the lamp unit.
Q: Are terminals included?
A: Yes, 1.5mm and 2.8mm terminals are both included with all variants.
