Used Mercedes-Benz Citan Headlight

The first-generation Citan (W415) ran from 2012 to 2021, and headlights are shared across that generation regardless of wheelbase or body style. A facelift arrived in 2016 which updated the front end, so lights from a pre-facelift 2012–2015 car and a post-facelift 2016–2021 car may differ. Always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before buying.

The 2014 Citan is pre-facelift (W415, pre-2016) and the 2018 is post-facelift, so these sit either side of the 2016 facelift boundary where front-end panels typically changed. Whether that specific headlight crosses the facelift and still fits is something you should confirm with the breaker quoting against your exact registration, as it is not safe to assume interchange across that boundary.

No — headlights are front-end parts and the front structure of the W415 Citan is shared across all wheelbase and roof-height variants within the same facelift period. You do not need to specify wheelbase or body length when sourcing a headlight; the generation and facelift period are what matter.

Trim level does not affect headlight fitment on the Citan — the same front-end shell is used across the range within a given facelift period. However, within a generation there can be halogen and xenon or LED headlight variants, so the light unit itself may look different depending on what your car was originally fitted with; confirm the specific lamp type with the breaker against your registration to make sure you get the right unit.

Engine choice makes no difference to headlight fitment on the Citan, so whether you have a 1.5 CDI or any other variant your NS headlight will be the same part for that facelift period. Just make sure the year of the donor vehicle is also from the pre-facelift 2012–2015 period to keep it within the same front-end design, and confirm the exact unit with your breaker.
