Hyundai i10 Headlight Replacement Parts

The i10 runs across three generations: the first-generation (Mk1) ran from 2007 to 2013, the second-generation (Mk2) ran from 2013 to 2019 with a facelift around 2016, and the third-generation (Mk3) launched in 2019 and is still current. Headlights are generation-specific, so always match the part to the correct generation first. Confirm the exact cut-off year for your car with the breaker using your registration.

This is an important question because 2015 and 2017 sit either side of the Mk2 facelift, which fell around 2016 and brought changes to the front-end styling including the headlights. Both years are Mk2 cars, but whether the pre-facelift and post-facelift headlights interchange is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as the units may look similar but differ in fitment detail. Never assume a pre-facelift light will drop straight into a post-facelift car without checking.

No – 2014 is a Mk2 i10 and 2012 is a Mk1, so these are entirely different generations with different front-end designs and headlight assemblies. You need to source a headlight from the same generation as your car. Make sure any breaker you approach knows your exact registration so they can pull the correct unit.

Trim level – whether SE, Premium, or Ultimate – does not affect headlight fitment on the i10; fitment is determined by generation and facelift period, not spec. However, be aware that some trim levels or optional packs may have been offered with different light technology, so the style or internals of the unit a breaker supplies may look slightly different from yours. Confirm with the breaker whether the unit is halogen or LED to make sure it matches what your car was built with.

No, nearside and offside headlights are handed and cannot be swapped – a NS (passenger side) headlight will not fit the OS (driver side) position and vice versa. When contacting a breaker, always specify clearly whether you need the NS or OS unit. Double-check by looking at your existing headlight or quoting your registration to avoid ordering the wrong side.

The safest approach is to give the breaker your vehicle registration and ask them to verify the part against it, as generation and facelift period are the critical fitment factors for i10 headlights. If you can see the part in person, comparing the overall shape, mounting points, and connector type against photos of your own headlight is a useful sense-check. Even if it looks identical, ask the breaker to confirm compatibility before purchasing, as pre- and post-facelift units within the same generation can appear very similar.
