#14
This is a genuine used Volkswagen Transporter T5 interior roof light, fitted in the passenger or rear load compartment. It is designed to provide factory-style interior illumination and is a suitable replacement where the original lamp has failed, become damaged, or has broken mounting points.
Part Number: 7H0947105A
VW OE Number: 7H0 947 105 A
Part Type: Interior Roof / Courtesy Light
Position: Passenger Compartment / Rear Load Area Roof
Colour: Typically Pearl Grey / Grey surround depending on vehicle specification
Vehicle Side: Not side-specific
Compatibility
Suitable for various Volkswagen Transporter T5 models, commonly including:
* VW Transporter T5 – approximately 2004–2009
* Transporter Panel Van
* Transporter Kombi
* Transporter Shuttle / passenger variants where the same lighting system is fitted
* Standard roof and selected passenger/load-compartment configurations
VW parts catalogue information identifies 7H0947105A as an interior light used with the 9CU standard passenger/load-compartment interior lighting system, with two units fitted on some configurations.
The same part number is also found on some later T5 vehicles, so 7H0947105A should be treated as the primary compatibility check rather than model year alone.
Technical Information
This lamp forms part of the Transporter’s interior lighting circuit and is normally mounted directly into the roof lining or rear load-area headlining.
Its purpose is to illuminate the rear passenger or cargo compartment when required, helping with:
* Entering and exiting the vehicle
* Loading or unloading in low-light conditions
* General passenger-compartment illumination
* Cargo-area visibility
* Courtesy lighting operation where supported by the vehicle wiring
The 7H0947105A unit is described in T5 parts information as a conventional interior lamp using a festoon-style bulb arrangement rather than the larger front reading-light assembly above the windscreen/rear-view mirror.
Interior Lighting System Information
Different T5 trim levels and body configurations used several different interior-light designs.
For example, VW catalogue information distinguishes this 7H0947105A unit from alternative lighting systems fitted to Shuttle and Multivan models. Therefore, visual appearance and part number should always be checked before purchase.
This part is particularly associated with the standard passenger/load-compartment lighting arrangement rather than the more elaborate Multivan interior-light system.
Common Symptoms / Reasons for Replacement
This light may require replacement due to:
* Interior light no longer working
* Intermittent illumination
* Corroded or worn internal electrical contacts
* Damaged bulb holder
* Cracked or cloudy lens
* Broken roof mounting clips
* Damaged electrical connector
* Light falling loose from the roof lining
* Heat damage around the bulb holder
* Cosmetic deterioration or staining
Important Diagnostic Information
Before replacing the complete lamp, it is worth checking:
* Interior-light fuse
* Bulb condition
* Electrical connector
* Power and earth supply
* Door-contact / courtesy-light circuit
* Wiring behind the roof lining
* Corrosion on lamp terminals
If the bulb does not illuminate, a failed lamp assembly is not always the cause. A wiring, fuse or door-switch issue can produce similar symptoms.
Installation
Installation is normally straightforward and involves removing the existing lamp from the roof/headlining, disconnecting the electrical connector and fitting the replacement unit.
Care should be taken when removing the lamp because older T5 roof-lining clips and plastic mounting tabs can become brittle with age.
No programming or coding is normally required when replacing the lamp with the correct matching unit.
Important Compatibility Note
Please compare the following with your original part before ordering:
* Part number 7H0947105A
* Electrical connector and number of terminals
* Lamp housing shape
* Lens design
* Mounting clips
* Roof/headlining aperture
* Interior-light configuration
* Vehicle trim level
Volkswagen used several different roof-light arrangements across T5 Panel Van, Kombi, Shuttle and Multivan models, so matching the OE number and physical design is strongly recommended.
Condition
Genuine used Volkswagen part.
May show normal age-related cosmetic marks, light scratches or signs of previous use and storage. Please inspect the listing photographs carefully as they form part of the item description.
