Fitment on a used rear light varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The B-Class has run across two main generations in the UK: the first generation (W245) ran from 2005 to 2011, and the second generation (W246) ran from 2011 to 2018, receiving a facelift in 2014. Rear lights are generation-specific, so a W245 unit will not fit a W246 and vice versa. Within each generation, confirm the exact part with your breaker against your registration, especially if your car sits either side of the 2014 facelift.
The W246 B-Class received a facelift in 2014, and the rear light clusters were restyled at that point, so pre-facelift (2011–2014) and post-facelift (2014–2018) units are generally not interchangeable. Always name the boundary to your breaker and confirm the part number against your registration before buying, as this is exactly the kind of mid-generation change where fitment can go wrong.
For the B-Class, trim level – whether SE, Sport, AMG Line, or Urban – does not affect the physical fitment of the rear light cluster, as the body pressing and lamp aperture are the same across trims. What may differ is the lamp finish or tinted versus clear styling, so a unit sourced from a different trim should fit but may look slightly different to your remaining original light. Confirm with the breaker if appearance matching matters to you.
Yes, NS (nearside, left) and OS (offside, right) rear lights are entirely different parts and are not interchangeable, so always specify which side you need when contacting a breaker. Double-check by looking at your car from behind: nearside is the left as you face the rear, offside is the right.
Many W246 B-Class rear lights are a two-part assembly, with a separate inner section mounted in the boot lid or tailgate and an outer section on the body – so confirm with the breaker whether you need one or both pieces for your repair. Basic fitting is within reach of a competent DIYer, but always confirm the exact configuration of your car's unit with the breaker against your registration before purchasing.
The B-Class is a five-door hatchback sold across Europe on the same platform, so the body-side rear light aperture is typically the same regardless of market. However, some markets used different lamp configurations or indicators, and there can be subtle pressing or lens differences between variants that are hard to spot from a listing alone. Route this question to your breaker and ask them to check the part against your UK registration before you commit.
