Transit lamp glass

The Transit lamp diffuser is the exterior lighting component of a van. When it comes to the lighting components on a Ford Transit, there can be surface damage to the front or rear lamp. In other words: a crack in the lamp shade. In this case, we are not immediately condemned to purchase a whole complete new front or rear lamp, but only need to purchase a lamp diffuser for the Transit.

Ford Transit: lamp diffuser replacement

The Ford Transit allows the lamp shades themselves to be replaced in its headlamps, as very often - especially when reversing - only the outer part of the lamp is damaged. Following mechanical damage, a crack or small hole is formed in the housing. This poses a risk of further damage and there is even a risk of short-circuiting the installation throughout the vehicle. This can happen if water gets inside the lamp and penetrates into the wiring. The replacement of rear lamp shades does not require specialised equipment and can even be carried out by an amateur. More problematic is the replacement of the headlamp shade on the Ford Transit.

Transit headlamp glass - replacement

There are a number of homemade ways to peel the lamp shade from the rest of the headlight, but we do not recommend doing this to inexperienced people. It is very common to damage the lamp shade when peeling it off. There is also the risk that when gluing a new lamp shade into a Ford Transit, we will do it incompetently and our headlight will be perpetually fogged up or water will get into it.

Transit lamp cluster - types

Our online shop offers both complete lamps and lamp shades alone - without the bulb strip. Some of them only require the removal of the original screws and the replacement of the damaged part for assembly. Buying a lamp shade for your Ford Transit is a great way to save money when you don't need to replace the entire lamp.
