Used fog lights vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
No — these are completely different generations. The 2012 car is the W204 (2007–2014), while the 2015 car is the W205 (2014–2021), and the front ends are entirely different, so the fog lights will not interchange between them.
Both years fall within the W204 generation (2007–2014), but the W204 received a facelift in 2011 which brought changes to the front bumper and light units, so whether a pre-facelift fog light fits a post-facelift car is not straightforward. Name the boundary confidently: the pre-facelift runs 2007–2010 and the facelift from 2011 onwards, and parts from either side of that line may differ. Confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying.
Within the same generation and facelift period, the front-end panels including fog lights are shared across body styles on the C-Class, so saloon, estate, coupé and cabriolet variants of the same generation typically use the same fog light units. You do not need to match the body style, but you should confirm the generation and facelift period are the same.
Fog lights were available on the C-Class but were not always standard across every trim level — they were more commonly fitted to mid-range and higher trims such as Sport, AMG Line, Avantgarde and above, and some entry-level trims like SE may have had them as an option rather than standard. If you are unsure whether your car was originally fitted with fog lights, check the original window sticker, your V5C options, or a Mercedes dealer can confirm from your VIN. As for fitment, trim level does not affect which fog light unit fits — what matters is the generation and facelift period.
The W205 ran from 2014 to 2021 and received a facelift in 2018, which brought updates to the front bumper styling, so fog lights from a pre-facelift W205 (2014–2018) may not match those from a post-facelift car (2018–2021). Confirm with the breaker against your exact registration to make sure the unit they have matches your facelift period.
Engine type makes no difference to fog light fitment on the C-Class — the fog lights are part of the front-end assembly which is shared regardless of what is under the bonnet. Focus on matching the generation (W204 or W205, for example) and whether the car is pre- or post-facelift, and you can ignore engine variants entirely.
