Cheap Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Fog Light

Front fog lights were fitted to many Sprinter variants as standard or as a factory option, so they do exist on this model – but not every Sprinter left the factory with them, as some base-spec vans were supplied without fog lights altogether. If your Sprinter does not currently have fog lights, check whether the front bumper has blanked-off fog light apertures, as these bumpers were often pre-cut to accept them. A breaker can confirm whether a front fog light assembly from their donor vehicle will suit yours.

The Sprinter has run across three main generations in the UK: the first-generation W901–W905 ran from 1995 to 2006, the second-generation W906 ran from 2006 to 2018 (with a facelift in 2013), and the third-generation W907 launched in 2018 and is current. Generation is the single most important factor for fog light fitment, as the front-end styling – including bumper shape and fog light housing – is specific to each generation. Always match your fog light to the correct generation first.

This is a key question because 2012 sits in the pre-facelift W906 period, while 2015 sits in the post-facelift W906 period – the W906 facelift happened in 2013, which brought revised front-end styling including changes to the bumper and light clusters. Whether the fog light housing and fitting points are interchangeable across that 2013 facelift boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration, as subtle differences in bumper apertures and wiring can affect compatibility. Do not assume a pre-2013 unit will drop straight into a post-2013 bumper without checking.

No – wheelbase, roof height, and body style do not affect fog light fitment on the Sprinter, because the front-end panels and lighting are shared across all body lengths and configurations within a generation. A fog light from a short-wheelbase panel van of the correct generation will be the same part as one from a long-wheelbase high-roof or a minibus variant. Focus on generation and facelift period, not body style.

Trim level does not affect fog light fitment as a rule, since the front bumper and fog light housing are the same across the range within a generation. That said, higher-specification Sprinters were more likely to be factory-fitted with fog lights, so a base-spec donor vehicle at a breaker may not have them at all. The fog light unit itself, where present, is the same part – just confirm the generation and facelift period with the breaker.

Yes, the nearside (NS, left) and offside (OS, right) fog light assemblies are handed – they are mirror images of each other and are not interchangeable side to side. Always specify which side you need when contacting a breaker, as quoting the wrong side is one of the most common ordering mistakes. Double-check by looking at your own bumper or referencing your registration with the breaker to confirm the correct unit.
