2023 Ford Ranger light protectors and surrounds

Harsh terrain, unpredictable weather and low light can be a real challenge for off-road vehicles, and if you're frequently sending your Ranger into rugged environments, a quality lighting system is critical to guarantee safety and visibility. This is why it's important to consider installing light protectors and surrounds, as they protect headlights and tail-lights and also enhance the overall appearance of your vehicle.

Here are four products we recommend. They’re intended as a starting point, to give you an idea of what’s available. We’ve included information on Ford Australia’s genuine accessories, in case you’d prefer to stick to OEM.

• What it is: A protective barrier that covers the light clusters and shrouds, which are parts of the ute that could take minor impacts
• Why you need it: To provide a layer of protection to stop minor damage that can occur from minor bumps during slow-speed maneuvers.
