Used Ford Focus Headlight

The Mk3 Focus ran from 2011 to 2018 and had a facelift in 2014, which brought restyled headlights along with a new grille and front bumper. Pre-facelift (2011–2014) and post-facelift (2014–2018) headlights are not the same shape, so you need to match your car to the correct facelift period. Within each of those two periods, headlights are shared across all body styles — hatchback, estate, and saloon — so door count and roof height don't affect fitment. Always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before buying.

This is a facelift boundary question: the Mk3 Focus facelifted in 2014, so a 2013 car is pre-facelift and a 2015 car is post-facelift, and the front-end styling changed at that point. Whether the headlight unit itself physically interchanges across that 2014 boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker using both registration numbers, as this is not something we can state as fact. If both cars are on the same side of the facelift — both pre or both post — fitment is generally straightforward within the Mk3 generation.

Trim level does not affect the headlight shape or mounting — a Zetec, Titanium, ST-Line or any other trim within the same facelift period of the same Focus generation all use the same front-end panel. The difference you may notice is that higher trims sometimes came with xenon or LED headlights rather than halogen, so the internal light unit can look different even though the outer housing fits the same aperture. Confirm with the breaker whether the headlight type (halogen, xenon, or LED) matches your car, as swapping between types can involve wiring differences. The breaker will be able to check this against your registration.

Headlights are handed — the nearside (NS) is the left as you sit in the car, and the offside (OS) is the right, and they are different parts. When contacting a breaker, always state clearly whether you need the NS or OS unit to avoid being sent the wrong one. This applies regardless of generation or facelift period.

No — the Mk2 Focus (2004–2011) and Mk3 Focus (2011–2018) are entirely different generations built on different platforms, and the front ends are not interchangeable. You need to match the headlight to the correct generation for it to fit. Make sure any breaker you contact knows your exact model year so they can supply the right part.

No, the headlight is part of the front end, which is shared across all body styles within a given Focus generation and facelift period — estate, hatchback, and saloon all use the same headlight. The roof height and body length make no difference to front-end panel fitment. Just make sure you match the correct generation (Mk2 or Mk3) and the correct facelift period, and confirm the specific part with the breaker against your registration.
