Used Ford EcoSport Headlight

The Ford EcoSport sold in the UK belongs to the second-generation model, which ran from around 2013 to 2022, but the front end changed at the 2018 facelift, so headlights from before and after that point look different and are not a straight swap. When sourcing a used headlight, make sure the breaker's donor car matches whether yours is pre-facelift (2013–2017) or facelift (2018 onwards). Always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before purchasing.

Yes, both a 2015 and a 2016 EcoSport sit within the same pre-facelift period of the second-generation model, so the headlight assemblies should be the same fitment. Confirm the NS or OS side you need matches the part the breaker is supplying, as left and right are not interchangeable. This does not guarantee fitment, so always verify against your registration with the breaker.

The 2018 facelift brought a redesigned front end to the EcoSport, including new headlight units, grille and bumper, so the pre-facelift (2013–2017) and facelift (2018 onwards) headlights are from different design phases. Whether a specific headlight from one side of that boundary can be made to fit the other is something you must confirm directly with the breaker against your registration, as the mounting points and surrounding panels may differ. Do not assume cross-facelift compatibility without that check.

For the Ford EcoSport, trim level – whether Titanium, Zetec or any other grade – does not determine the outer headlight housing fitment, as front-end panels are shared across trims within the same generation and facelift period. However, the internal light source may vary, as some higher trims may have been fitted with different bulb or projector configurations compared to entry-level trims. Confirm with the breaker whether the unit they have matches your headlight type (for example halogen versus LED) against your registration, as this is something to verify rather than assume.

The easiest way is to check the donor car's registration against the facelift boundary: pre-facelift EcoSports run from 2013 to 2017 and have a notably different front-end styling to the 2018-onwards facelift cars. A reputable breaker will be able to check the donor vehicle's details and confirm the unit matches your car's phase. Always provide your registration when requesting a quote on Findapart so the breaker can cross-reference before dispatch.

Yes, NS (nearside, passenger side) and OS (offside, driver side) headlights are handed and are not interchangeable, so you must specify the correct side when getting a quote. Beyond the side, make sure the generation phase matches yours – pre-facelift 2013–2017 or facelift 2018 onwards – as these are different units. Confirm both the side and the facelift period with the breaker against your registration to avoid ordering the wrong part.
