Used Ford Fiesta headlight: how to buy the right one

To buy the right used Ford Fiesta headlight, match your generation and facelift, your bulb type (halogen or LED), and the part number. A genuine used headlight saves you a good deal against a new one and goes straight on, as long as you order the version your car actually had.

Which Fiesta do you have?

The headlight changed across the generations and the facelift, and they do not all interchange. The Mk6 ran from 2002 to 2008, the Mk7 from 2008 to 2017 with a clear restyle in 2013, and the Mk8 from 2017. An early Mk7 and a facelift Mk7 headlight differ, so check whether your car has the older or newer front end. Your registration pins it down.

Halogen or LED: which do you need?

Higher Fiesta trims, especially later cars, came with LED or different reflector headlights, while standard cars used halogen bulbs. They are not always interchangeable, because the wiring and fittings can differ. Check what your car has and buy the matching type, or you may get a light that does not work or fit correctly.

How do I confirm the exact unit?

Match the Ford part number printed on the headlight body to the listing. This is the most reliable check, because it captures the differences between the facelift, the bulb type and left versus right-hand drive that the name alone misses. Tell us your registration or old part number and we will confirm the correct unit.

What should I inspect on a used headlight?

Check the photos for cracks in the lens, internal condensation, and yellowing or fogging. Light surface marks polish out, but a cracked lens or a damp unit is one to avoid. Make sure the mounting tabs are intact, because broken tabs make a light hard to align. A good seller shows the lens clearly and states whether it was tested working.
