Used Ford Transit Connect Rear Light

The Transit Connect runs across two main generations: the first generation (Mk1) ran from 2002 to 2013, and the second generation (Mk2) launched in 2013 and continues to the present day. Rear lights between these two generations are completely different and will not interchange, so always make sure any used light you source matches your generation. Within each generation there may also be mid-run changes, so confirm the exact fit against your registration with the breaker before buying.

Both 2010 and 2006 Transit Connects are Mk1 (2002–2013) models, so they share the same generation platform and rear light fitment is likely to be compatible. However, there were pressing and lamp changes within the Mk1 run, so this is not guaranteed — confirm the part number and check your specific registration with the breaker before purchasing. Never assume fitment purely on the basis of generation alone.

No — 2013 is the generation boundary where the Mk1 ended and the Mk2 began, and the rear light assemblies are entirely different between these two generations. A 2014 Transit Connect is a Mk2 and its rear lights will not be compatible with a Mk1 from 2012 or earlier. Always quote your registration to the breaker so they can confirm the exact part from the correct generation.

Yes, this matters significantly — the tailgate (single top-hinged door) and barn door (side-hinged double door) variants have different rear panel arrangements, and the light clusters are shaped and mounted differently to suit each body. Always tell the breaker which door configuration your van has, as well as your registration, to ensure the correct light is sourced. Getting this wrong is one of the most common fitment mistakes on van rear lights.

No, trim level does not affect rear light fitment on the Transit Connect — the same light cluster is used across Trend, Limited, and other trim variants within the same generation. You may find minor cosmetic differences such as chrome surrounds or smoked finishes on higher trims, so be aware the used light you receive may look slightly different to your original if it came from a different trim level. What matters for fitment is generation, body style, and door configuration — not the trim badge.

For most standard Transit Connect rear lights the wheelbase is unlikely to make a difference, as the rear light cluster itself tends to be consistent across short and long wheelbase variants within the same generation. That said, if your van has any extended bodywork or non-standard rear panel configuration, it is worth confirming with the breaker against your registration just to be sure. Stating your exact registration when getting a quote is always the safest approach.
