Fitment questions
What years does a Mazda 626 headlight fit?
The Mazda 626 ran through several distinct generations, with the most commonly found in UK breakers yards being the fourth generation (GD/GV platform, 1987–1992) and the fifth generation (GE platform, 1992–1997), followed by the final sixth generation (GF platform, 1997–2002). Headlights are generation-specific, so a light from a GE-platform car will not cross to a GF-platform car and vice versa. Always confirm the exact generation with the breaker against your registration before buying.
Will a headlight from a 1995 Mazda 626 fit a 1998 Mazda 626?
These cars sit in different generations — the 1995 car is fifth generation (GE platform, 1992–1997) and the 1998 car is sixth generation (GF platform, 1997–2002) — so the front ends are entirely different and the headlights are not interchangeable. Stick to sourcing a light from within the same generation as your car.
Did the Mazda 626 get a facelift, and does it affect headlight fitment?
The sixth-generation 626 (GF, 1997–2002) received a mid-life facelift in 1999 that updated the front end, including the headlights. If your car is a pre-facelift (1997–1999) or post-facelift (1999–2002) model, you need a light from the correct facelift period; confirm the exact part number and facelift cut-off with the breaker against your registration, as fitment across that boundary is not guaranteed.
Does the trim level affect which headlight I need — for example, does a 626 LX need a different light to a 626 GLX?
Trim level — whether LX, GLX or any other grade — does not affect headlight fitment on the Mazda 626; the lights are shared across the range within a given generation and facelift period. Bear in mind that higher trim levels may have been fitted with different bulb types (for example halogen versus other variants), so check the bulb holder and wiring with the breaker to make sure your replacement matches what is already on your car.
Does the body style matter — will a saloon headlight fit an estate 626?
Within the same generation and facelift period, the front-end panels including headlights are shared across body styles, so a light from a saloon-bodied 626 will generally correspond to the same part as one from a hatchback or estate of the same generation. Confirm this with the breaker against your registration, as wiring or bracket details can occasionally differ.
I only need the nearside headlight — does it matter which side I order?
Yes, the nearside (NS, passenger side, left-hand side in a UK right-hand-drive car) and offside (OS, driver side, right-hand side) headlights are handed and are not interchangeable with each other. When contacting a breaker, make sure you specify NS or OS clearly, along with your registration or chassis details so they can pull the correct unit for your generation and facelift period.
