Used Ford B-Max Headlight

The Ford B-Max was sold in the UK from 2012 to 2017 and sits on a single generation throughout its production run, but there was a facelift in 2015 that updated the front-end styling including the headlights, grille and bumper. Parts from the pre-facelift period (2012–2014) are most likely to interchange with other pre-facelift cars, and post-facelift (2015–2017) with other post-facelift cars. Always confirm the exact fit with the breaker using your registration number before buying.

This question crosses the 2015 facelift boundary, which is the key fitment divide on the B-Max — the front-end was restyled at that point and the headlight design changed. A 2013 unit is pre-facelift and a 2016 unit is post-facelift, so they are unlikely to be a direct swap. You should confirm against your registration with the breaker before purchasing, as they can check the specific part numbers involved.

Trim level does not affect headlight fitment on the B-Max — the front-end panels are shared across trim grades within the same facelift period. The one cosmetic difference worth knowing is that higher trims such as Titanium may have come with different light units (for example projector-style versus standard halogen), so the replacement unit you receive may look slightly different even if it physically fits. Confirm with the breaker whether the unit they have matches your existing light type to avoid a mismatch in appearance.

No — nearside and offside headlights are handed (mirror images of each other) and are not interchangeable. When contacting a breaker, always specify whether you need the NS (left, passenger side) or OS (right, driver side) unit. Getting this wrong is one of the most common purchasing mistakes, so double-check before placing your order.

Yes, this is worth checking carefully — if your car has a different light source technology to the unit the breaker is selling, the two may not be compatible even if they are from the same facelift period. Confirm with the breaker that the unit they have matches your car's existing setup by checking against your registration, as this is not something that can be assumed from the year alone.
