A used rear light that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:
The Ford Ka ran across two distinct generations in the UK: the Mk1 (1996–2008) and the Mk2 (2008–2016), which are completely different cars on different platforms. Rear lights between these two generations will not interchange at all, so always confirm which generation your car is before searching for parts. If you're unsure, your registration plate will tell a breaker exactly which generation you have.
Both years fall within the Mk1 generation (1996–2008), so the platform is the same and fitment is broadly likely, but the Mk1 did receive mid-generation updates that could affect panel and light pressing details. Name the exact years to your breaker and ask them to confirm the part number matches before buying, as subtle pressing changes within a generation are exactly the kind of thing a good dismantler will catch.
The Mk2 Ka ran from 2008 to 2016 and there were no widely publicised major facelifts that split the rear light design within that generation, but mid-generation pressing changes are always a possibility on a car of that age. The safest approach is to give the breaker both registration numbers and let them verify the part numbers are a direct match before you commit.
Trim level does not affect rear light fitment on the Ford Ka — the Studio, Edge, Style, and Zetec all use the same rear light for their respective generation. You may find that lights pulled from higher-spec cars are in better cosmetic condition or have fewer stone chips, but the part itself is interchangeable across trims within the same generation.
The SportKa and StreetKa are different body styles from the standard Ka and use different rear light assemblies, so they will not simply swap across. Confirm with the breaker against your registration to be certain, as panel differences between these closely related variants are exactly the kind of detail that can trip buyers up.
Yes, it absolutely matters — NS (nearside, left when sitting in the car) and OS (offside, right when sitting in the car) rear lights are handed and are not interchangeable. Always tell your breaker which side you need, and if possible confirm by checking whether your existing unit has any part numbers moulded into the back of the lens housing.
