A used headlight 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 Hyundai ix35 was produced from 2010 to 2015 in the UK, with a facelift arriving in 2013 that brought revised headlights, a new grille and updated bumpers. This facelift boundary is the key thing to establish before sourcing a used headlight. Always confirm the exact cut-off against your registration with the breaker, as build dates around 2013 can sit either side of the change.
A 2011 ix35 is pre-facelift and a 2014 ix35 is post-facelift, so these sit on opposite sides of the 2013 styling update that changed the front-end design. The headlight shape and fixings are likely to differ across that boundary, but whether a specific unit physically interchanges is something you should confirm with the breaker against both registrations before buying.
No, the engine has no bearing on headlight fitment for the ix35 — the front-end panels are shared across all engine variants within the same generation and facelift period. Focus on the model year and whether your car is pre- or post-facelift (2013 onwards), and the engine can be ignored entirely.
Trim level does not change the fundamental fitment of the headlight on the ix35, so a unit from a Classic should mount the same way as one from a Premium or Premium SE within the same facelift period. However, higher trims may have been fitted with xenon or projector-style units rather than standard halogen, so the light you receive may look different cosmetically or have a different connector — confirm with the breaker whether the unit matches your existing setup (halogen or xenon) to avoid a mismatch.
The first-generation Tucson (JM, 2004–2009) is a completely different platform and its headlights will not fit the ix35. The ix35 is sometimes marketed in certain markets as a Tucson (the second generation), but in the UK it was sold exclusively as the ix35, and parts should be sourced as such — confirm with the breaker using your specific registration to make sure any unit they hold is from the correct model.
Yes, NS (nearside, left, passenger side) and OS (offside, right, driver's side) headlights are handed and not interchangeable, so always specify OS when asking for the driver's side unit. Your 2012 car is pre-facelift, so also make sure the breaker confirms the part came from a pre-2013 ix35 to keep you on the right side of the facelift boundary.
