Second Hand Nissan Cabstar Headlight

The Nissan Cabstar in its F24 generation ran from 2006 to 2013, and headlights are shared across different wheelbase and payload variants within that generation because the front-end panels are common across the range. If you have a Cabstar from that period, the key thing to confirm with a breaker is whether the specific unit they have matches your exact front-end specification. Always quote your registration when asking for a quote on Findapart.

Both a 2008 and a 2012 Cabstar fall within the F24 generation (2006–2013), so they share the same front-end structure and headlights should be compatible in principle. That said, there was a facelift within the F24 generation, so you should confirm with the breaker that the specific unit is from the same pre- or post-facelift period as your vehicle. Giving the breaker your registration is the safest way to be sure.

The F24 Cabstar received a facelift during its production run, and the front-end styling including headlights, grille and bumper typically changes at a facelift boundary, meaning the two generations of light may not interchange directly. We cannot state as fact that a pre-facelift unit fits a post-facelift vehicle or vice versa, so this is exactly the question to put to your breaker with your registration number. A good breaker will be able to cross-reference the part against your vehicle before you commit.

No — wheelbase does not affect headlight fitment on the Cabstar because the front-end panels, including the headlights, are shared across short and long wheelbase variants within the same generation. You can safely ignore wheelbase when searching, but do make sure the generation and facelift period match. The main details to give a breaker are your registration and whether you need the nearside (NS) or offside (OS) unit.

Trim level does not determine headlight fitment on the Cabstar — the front-end panels are shared across the range within a generation. One thing worth checking with your breaker is whether your vehicle has a different bulb type or any additional features such as levelling motors, as these details can vary and affect whether a used unit is a direct swap. Your registration will help the breaker confirm the exact specification quickly.

The F24 Cabstar was developed on a platform shared with vehicles such as the Renault Maxity and Opel/Vauxhall Movano-based light trucks, and there may be parts compatibility, but we cannot confirm this as fact for headlights specifically. This is a question to put directly to your breaker, who will be able to check part numbers against your registration before supplying anything. Sticking to a Cabstar-sourced unit is the safest approach if you are uncertain.
