2006–2013 · bulbsAll 10 verified

Halogen H4 base. Mk6 2000–06 body with new front end and lamps; rear lamps carried over. Huge DIY-maintenance parc

Dip beam (low)H4VerifiedHandbook prints "Headlamp main and dipped beam 55/60" = H4. Confirmed in BOTH the 2008 (pre-facelift) and the TT9 built-from-26-09-2011 (post-facelift) handbooks, so unchanged across the 2011 facelift.
Main beam (high)H4VerifiedSame 55/60W H4 bulb serves main and dipped. Identical in the 2008 pre-facelift and 2011-2013 post-facelift handbooks.
Front fogH11VerifiedBoth handbooks print the front fog lamp explicitly as "55 (H11)". This directly contradicts any H1 listing for this Ford commercial. Unchanged across the 2011 facelift.
Sidelight / DRLW5WVerifiedHandbook "Side lamp 5"; cararac gives W5W. Same in the 2008 and 2011-2013 handbook charts, so unchanged at the 2011 facelift.
Front indicatorPY21WVerifiedHandbook "Front direction indicator 21"; cararac and AUTODOC's V347/V348 headlamp units both give PY21W. Unchanged across the 2011 facelift.
Rear indicatorPY21WVerifiedHandbook "Rear direction indicator 21" in both the 2008 and 2011-2013 charts; cararac gives PY21W for 2006-2020 bodies. Unchanged across the 2011 facelift.
Brake / tailP21/5WVerifiedHandbook "Tail and brake lamp 21/5". Chassis cab and flatbed bodies instead use a separate 21W brake and 10W tail lamp. Central high-mounted brake lamp is 16W (W16W). Unchanged across the 2011 facelift.
ReverseP21WVerifiedHandbook "Reversing lamp 21"; cararac P21W. Same in both pre- and post-2011-facelift handbooks.
Rear fogP21WVerifiedHandbook "Rear fog lamp 21"; cararac P21W. Driver's-side-only rear fog confirms the European edition. Unchanged across the 2011 facelift.
Number plateW5WVerifiedcararac gives W5W. The handbooks split the number-plate lamp by body, "except double rear doors" and "double rear doors", at 5W and 10W, so double-rear-door vans may take a 10W festoon. Unchanged at the 2011 facelift.

Can you fit LED bulbs to the Transit Mk7?

This car has halogen headlamps. In the UK, a halogen headlamp unit on a car first used on or after 1 April 1986 must not be converted to LED or HID bulbs: the MOT inspection manual (§4.1.4) treats a converted unit as a fail, however bright or well aimed it is. “Retrofit LED H7” bulbs sold for these cars are for off-road use. Halogen upgrade bulbs (+150% and similar) are legal because the unit is unchanged. Sidelights, indicators and number-plate LEDs are a separate question — E-marked LED versions of those are road legal.
