Fitment questions

What years does the Mercedes-Benz G-Class headlight fit across?

The G-Class has been built on the same core platform (W460/W461/W463) since 1979, but for headlight fitment the key split is between the long-running classic generation (W463, from 1990 up to the full redesign) and the current-generation W464, which launched in 2018 with a completely different front end. Within each of those two generations, front-end panels including headlights are broadly shared across the range, but facelift updates within a generation can change light units, so always confirm the exact model year with your breaker against your registration.

Will a headlight from a 2015 G-Class fit my 2019 G-Class?

2015 falls in the W463 classic generation, while 2019 is the W464 new-generation G-Class which launched in 2018 with a completely redesigned front end - these two are not the same platform and the headlights are not interchangeable. You need to source a W464 unit for a 2019 car; confirm this with your breaker quoting your exact registration to be sure.

Does a headlight from a pre-facelift W463 fit a later W463 G-Class?

The W463 ran from 1990 through to 2018 and received several front-end updates over that period, meaning headlight style and fitment can vary between earlier and later cars within that generation. The key question is whether the donor car sits on the same side of a facelift boundary as yours, which is something you need to confirm with the breaker by quoting both registration numbers rather than relying on year alone.

Does the trim level affect which headlight I need - for example, does a G350d use the same headlight as a G63 AMG?

Engine and trim level do not affect headlight fitment on the G-Class - the front-end structure and light apertures are shared across the range within a generation, so a G350d and a G63 AMG of the same generation use the same housing position. However, the G63 AMG and higher-spec variants may have been fitted with different light technology (for example LED versus halogen or xenon), so if the cosmetic finish or light source matters to you, check with your breaker that the unit matches your existing setup.

I have a right-hand-drive UK G-Class - can I use a headlight from a left-hand-drive car?

On most vehicles the NS (nearside, kerb-side) and OS (offside, driver-side) headlights are handed and not interchangeable left to right, and RHD and LHD cars swap which physical side each unit sits on. For a UK RHD G-Class you need a unit specified for right-hand drive, so tell your breaker whether you need the NS or OS light and confirm the car it came from was also RHD.

Does the long-wheelbase or short-wheelbase body affect G-Class headlight fitment?

No - wheelbase and body length do not affect headlight fitment on the G-Class, as the front end, including the headlights, is shared across body variants within a generation. What matters for fitment is the generation (W463 or W464) and where the car sits in relation to any facelift updates, so focus on those details when speaking to your breaker.
