Fitment questions

What years does a Nissan Leaf headlight fit?

The Nissan Leaf has run across two main generations: the first-gen (ZE0/AZE0) ran from 2010 to 2017, and the second-gen (ZE1) ran from 2018 onwards. Within the first generation there was a significant facelift in 2013 which updated the front-end styling, including the headlights. Always match your registration to the correct generation and facelift period when sourcing a used headlight.

Will a 2014 Nissan Leaf headlight fit a 2012 model?

The 2012 Leaf is a pre-facelift first-gen car, while the 2014 Leaf is a post-facelift first-gen — the facelift arrived in 2013 and brought a redesigned front end. These are both first-gen cars, but because the facelift changed the headlights, grille and bumper, whether a specific headlight crosses that 2013 boundary is something you should confirm directly with the breaker against your registration number. Don't assume they interchange without checking.

Does the trim level affect which headlight I need — for example, Acenta versus Tekna?

For the Nissan Leaf, trim level alone does not determine headlight fitment in terms of the physical shell and mounting — the generation and facelift period are what matter. However, different trims can come with different light sources (for example, halogen versus LED), so the unit you receive from a breaker may look slightly different internally even if it fits the aperture. Confirm with the breaker whether the headlight type — halogen or LED — matches what your car originally had.

Will a second-gen Leaf headlight from a 2019 car fit my 2022 Leaf?

Both a 2019 and a 2022 Leaf sit within the second-gen ZE1 platform, which started in 2018, so you are in the right generation. Provided there was no mid-cycle facelift update to the front end between those years that affected the headlight design, these should be compatible — confirm the exact part with the breaker against both registrations to be sure. The breaker will be able to cross-reference the part numbers quickly.

Does it matter if my Leaf is a 40kWh or a 62kWh e+ model when buying a headlight?

No — battery size and powertrain variant do not affect headlight fitment on the Nissan Leaf. What matters is the generation and whether the car is pre- or post-facelift, not what is under the bonnet. Tell the breaker your registration and they will confirm the correct light for your specific front-end specification.

I've found a cheap Leaf headlight but the seller doesn't know the year — how do I check it will fit?

Ask the seller for the donor vehicle's registration or VIN so you can confirm the generation and facelift period, as these are the key fitment factors for Leaf headlights. If the part is from a different side of the 2013 facelift boundary to your own car, route that question to the breaker who can check part numbers before you commit. A reputable dismantler on Findapart will be able to verify compatibility against your registration before despatch.
