A buyer's guide to used Mercedes-Benz S-Class headlight

Fitment questions

What years does the W222 S-Class headlight fit?

The W222 generation runs from 2013 to 2020, so headlights from any W222 should share the same front-end architecture across that span. However, Mercedes facelifted the W222 in 2017, and lights, grille and bumpers typically change at a facelift boundary, so a pre-2017 headlight and a post-2017 headlight may look quite different and may not interchange directly. If your car sits close to that 2017 boundary, confirm with the breaker against your exact registration before buying.

Will a W221 S-Class headlight fit my W222?

No — the W221 (2005–2013) and W222 (2013–2020) are entirely separate generations with different front-end designs, so the headlights are not interchangeable. Always match the generation when sourcing a used headlight from a breaker.

Does a 2015 S-Class headlight fit a 2018 S-Class?

These two cars sit either side of the W222 facelift, which happened in 2017, and headlights commonly change at that boundary. Both are W222 generation cars, but whether the pre-facelift 2015 unit physically fits a post-facelift 2018 car is something you need to confirm with the breaker against your registration, as the mounting points and styling details can differ across the facelift.

Does it matter if my S-Class is a long-wheelbase (S-Class L) model when buying a headlight?

No — wheelbase does not affect headlight fitment, because the front-end panels are shared across standard and long-wheelbase variants within the same generation. Focus on matching the generation (W221 or W222) and facelift period rather than the wheelbase designation.

Does the trim level matter — for example, will an AMG Line headlight fit an SE or an S 63 AMG?

Trim level does not affect whether a headlight bolts on to a W222 S-Class, as the front-end structure is consistent across SE, AMG Line and AMG variants within the same generation and facelift period. That said, there may be cosmetic differences between units — for instance, styling details on an AMG-badged car's light may differ from a standard trim — so check the part visually against your own headlight before confirming the purchase with the breaker. What you must also confirm with the breaker is whether the bulb technology (halogen, xenon or LED) matches your car, as variants differ within the same generation.

Does it matter if my W222 S-Class headlight comes from a saloon versus another body style?

The W222 S-Class was sold in the UK predominantly as a saloon (and long-wheelbase saloon), with the headlights consistent across those variants within the same facelift period. The key fitment factors remain the generation and whether the car is pre- or post-2017 facelift, not the body style — but confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker to be certain.
