2005 Mountaineer Headlight Light Bulb Deflector Fell Off

[2000co]

I was changing the light bulb and the metal piece that covers the light bulb and deflect the light fell off. I was able to pull it out but now it’s bent. Can I buy a new one?

Is it possible to bend it back? I don't know if they sell it separately? Maybe try the junkyard?

Good luck with the hunt!

I was able to bent it back but its not perfect. I called aroundbut no one is selling it.

I'm thinking junkyard me be your only option, short of buying a new headlight assembly.

Check the vendors sub forum. I know that you can get an aftermarket headlight at a reasonable price. If it comes with the wire clip, you could just transfer it to your OEM headlight.

Thanks for your help!
For now I’m going to use the old deflector. If it fall off again I’ll buy a new headlight. I just think it’s crazy that a 2 minuet job becomes and hour job.
