No two headlights are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
Also known as: head lamp, head light.
The Nissan Almera ran across two main generations in the UK: the N15 (1995–2000) and the N16 (2000–2006), with the N16 receiving a facelift around 2003 that updated the front end including the headlights. Parts from within the same pre- or post-facelift period are your best starting point, and your breaker can confirm compatibility against your registration.
This question sits right on the N16 facelift boundary — the N16 generation ran from 2000, with a facelift arriving around 2003 that brought changes to the lights, grille and bumper. Whether a pre-facelift 2001 unit crosses over to fit a 2003 car is exactly the kind of thing you need to confirm with the breaker against your registration, as the facelift cut-off point makes this uncertain.
Yes — within the same generation and facelift period, front-end panels including headlights are shared across body styles, so a unit from a hatchback should match a saloon of the same era. Your breaker will confirm this against your registration to be sure.
Trim level does not affect headlight fitment on the Almera — an SE, GX, or Sport all use the same headlight housing within a given generation and facelift period. Bear in mind that some trim levels may have had different bulb or projector setups, such as halogen versus other variants, so confirm with the breaker that the unit matches your specific light type.
The N16 facelift arrived around 2003, so a 2005 car falls into the post-facelift period, and you should look for headlights from other post-facelift N16 models (roughly 2003–2006) to stand the best chance of a correct fit. Confirm the exact cut-off with your breaker against your registration, as production changes don't always align precisely with calendar years.
No — the N15 (1995–2000) and N16 (2000–2006) are separate generations with different front-end designs, so headlights are not interchangeable between them. Always make sure you're sourcing from the correct generation, and your breaker can verify this against your registration.
