Buying a used Audi A1 headlight: what matters
Used headlights 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:

Fitment questions
What years does the Audi A1 first generation cover, and will headlights from any of those years fit my car?
The first-generation A1 (8X platform) ran from 2010 to 2018 and received a facelift in 2015, which brought a revised front end including new headlight units. Headlights from within the same pre-facelift period (2010–2014) or the same post-facelift period (2015–2018) should be compatible with each other, but you must confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying.
Will a 2013 Audi A1 headlight fit a 2016 A1?
These two cars sit either side of the 2015 facelift, which changed the A1's front-end styling including the headlights, so they are unlikely to be a straight swap. Name the facelift boundary — 2015 — to your breaker and ask them to check the specific part numbers against your registration before proceeding, as we cannot guarantee interchange across that boundary.
Does it matter whether my A1 is a 3-door or a 5-door Sportback when buying a replacement headlight?
No — door count and body style do not affect headlight fitment on the A1, as the front end is shared across the 3-door and 5-door Sportback within the same generation and facelift period. Focus on matching the generation and facelift period rather than the body style when searching for a used unit.
Do Audi A1 headlights differ between trim levels like SE, Sport, S Line, or Black Edition?
Trim level does not change the fundamental fitment of the headlight on the A1, so an SE headlight and an S Line headlight from the same generation and facelift period will physically fit the same way. However, some trim levels may have come with different light technology — for example, halogen versus LED or Bi-Xenon units — so check with the breaker that the specific variant matches what your car originally had, particularly if your car has automatic levelling or washers.
When did the second-generation Audi A1 start, and are its headlights interchangeable with the first gen?
The second-generation A1 (GB platform) launched in 2018 as a 2019 model year, moving to a completely new body design with no shared front-end panels with the first-generation 8X car. A headlight from a 2019-onwards A1 will not fit any earlier A1, so make sure you and the breaker are both clear on which generation your car belongs to.
I need an NS headlight for my Audi A1 — does the side matter when sourcing from a breaker?
Yes, the nearside (NS, passenger side, left) and offside (OS, driver side, right) headlights are handed and not interchangeable, so always specify which side you need when contacting a breaker. Double-check this against your car before ordering, as mixing up NS and OS is one of the most common and easily avoided mistakes when buying used lights.
Fitment guidance is general and mistakes can happen - vehicle specifications vary and manufacturers make mid-production changes. Always confirm the exact part against your registration with the supplying breaker before buying.
