Used rear lights vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The 159 was produced as a single generation from 2005 to 2011 with no major facelift that changed the rear light design, so units from across that production run are generally considered interchangeable. However, body style is critical: the saloon and the Sportwagon estate use completely different rear light assemblies, so always confirm you're sourcing the correct body style. Confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before buying.
Both years fall within the same single-generation 159 run (2005–2011), so the body style and door count are the key fitment factors rather than the model year itself. The saloon and Sportwagon estate are entirely different, so make sure the unit matches your body style. That said, mid-production pressing or lens changes can sometimes catch buyers out, so confirm the part number or compare photos with the breaker against your registration.
Yes, completely — the Sportwagon estate and the saloon use entirely different rear light clusters due to their different body shapes, and the parts will not interchange. When asking a breaker for a quote, make sure you specify Sportwagon or saloon clearly. Never assume a saloon unit will fit an estate or vice versa.
Trim level does not affect rear light fitment on the 159 — a unit from a Lusso, Ti, or any other trim will fit the same body style regardless of spec level. You may find cosmetic differences such as smoked or chrome finishes between trims, so check the appearance matches what you want rather than worrying about whether it will physically fit. Confirm the body style match and appearance details with the breaker.
Yes — the nearside (NS, passenger side) and offside (OS, driver side) rear lights are handed and will not swap over, so always specify which side you need when contacting a breaker. If you're unsure which side is which, NS is the left side as you sit in the car and OS is the right. Getting this wrong is an easy and costly mistake, so double-check before ordering.
RHD and LHD 159 rear lights are generally the same physical units since the light clusters themselves are not handed for the market — the NS/OS side is what matters, not the market the car was built for. However, if a unit has any integrated wiring loom or market-specific components, there could be differences, so confirm this directly with the breaker before purchasing.
