What to check when buying a used Mercedes-Benz B-Class headlight

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:

Fitment questions

What years does a Mercedes B-Class headlight fit?

The B-Class runs across two modern generations: the W245 (2005–2011) and the W246 (2012–2018), with the W246 receiving a facelift in 2015 that updated the front-end styling including the headlights. Within each pre- and post-facelift period, headlights are generally shared across the range, so always match the generation and facelift period to your car's registration when sourcing from a breaker.

Will a 2013 Mercedes B-Class headlight fit a 2016 B-Class?

This crosses the W246 facelift boundary of 2015, which is where the front-end design changed, so a 2013 unit and a 2016 unit are unlikely to be a straight swap. You should confirm with the breaker whether the specific headlight they have is pre- or post-facelift and check it against your registration plate before buying.

Does a W245 headlight fit a W246 B-Class?

No — the W245 (2005–2011) and W246 (2012–2018) are entirely separate generations with different front-end designs, so headlights from these two platforms are not interchangeable. Always tell the breaker which generation your car is and give them your registration to confirm the correct part.

Does trim level affect which headlight fits — for example, does a Sport headlight differ from an SE headlight on the B-Class?

Trim level — whether SE, Sport, or AMG Line — does not affect the fundamental fitment of the headlight assembly on the B-Class, as the front-end panels are shared across the range within a given generation and facelift period. That said, higher trims may have been factory-fitted with xenon or LED units rather than halogen, so if your car has a specific lighting technology you want to retain, confirm with the breaker that their headlight matches your original specification.

I have a 2016 Mercedes B-Class — will a headlight from a 2014 car fit?

Both years fall within the W246 generation, but 2014 is pre-facelift and 2016 is post-facelift, with the styling change occurring in 2015, so these may not be a direct match. Confirm with the breaker whether the part they have is from before or after the 2015 facelift and ask them to verify against your registration before purchasing.

Does it matter whether the headlight is from a NS or OS side when buying used?

Yes — nearside (NS, passenger side) and offside (OS, driver side) headlights are handed and are not interchangeable, so make sure you tell the breaker clearly which side you need when requesting a quote. Double-check by looking at the unit you're replacing and confirming the side with the breaker before they pull the part.
