Second Hand Ford Mustang Headlight

The sixth-generation Mustang (S550 platform) ran from 2015 onwards, with a facelift arriving for the 2018 model year that updated the front end including the headlights. Headlights from within the pre-facelift 2015–2017 period should share the same fitment, and lights from the post-facelift 2018-onwards cars should similarly match each other, but you must confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying, as we cannot guarantee interchange.

The 2018 model year marks the facelift boundary for the sixth-generation Mustang, where the front end — including headlights, grille and bumper — was redesigned. This means a 2017 (pre-facelift) headlight is very unlikely to be a direct fit on a 2018 (post-facelift) car, but whether any specific unit crosses that boundary should be confirmed with the breaker against your registration number before purchasing.

The engine and trim level do not determine headlight fitment on the Mustang — what matters is the generation and whether the car is pre- or post-facelift. That said, there can be cosmetic differences between variants within the same generation, such as halogen versus LED or projector-style units, so ask the breaker to confirm the light type matches what is fitted to your car.

UK Mustangs are right-hand drive, so the nearside (NS) headlight is on the passenger side, which is the left-hand side of the car as you look at it from the front. Always double-check NS and OS with the breaker before ordering, as Mustang parts are sometimes listed using US left/right conventions that assume a left-hand-drive vehicle.

No, the fifth-generation S197 Mustang (2005–2014) and the sixth-generation S550 (2015 onwards) are entirely different platforms with different front-end designs, so headlights are not interchangeable between them. Make sure you specify your generation clearly to the breaker so they can source the correct unit for your car.

No — the headlights are mounted on the front end, which is shared across body styles within the same generation and facelift period, so the body style does not affect which headlight you need. Give the breaker your registration number and they can confirm the correct part for your specific car.
