Second Hand Nissan Pathfinder Fog Light

Both years fall within the R50 generation Pathfinder (1996–2004), so the front-end design is broadly shared across that period. However, there was a facelift within the R50 generation, and if your 2001 and a 2004 car fall either side of that boundary, the fog light design may differ. We'd recommend confirming the exact part number with the breaker against both registrations before buying.

Both the 2010 and 2013 Pathfinder sit within the R51 generation (2005–2014), which covers the same basic front-end structure. The R51 did receive a facelift around 2010–2011, so a 2013 part and a pre-facelift 2010 car could come from different facelift periods — the fog light surround and housing may not be identical. Check with the breaker quoting against your registration to confirm which facelift variant your car is.

Fog lights were fitted to various Pathfinder variants across its UK history, but fitment as standard did vary by trim level — lower-spec models sometimes had fog light blanks rather than working units. The good news is that trim level does not affect whether a used fog light unit physically fits your car — what matters is the generation and facelift period. If your car currently has a blank, a breaker can still supply the fog light unit, though you may need a wiring check to confirm it's live on your spec.

Trim level does not affect fog light fitment on the Pathfinder — the front bumper and fog light housings are shared across trim grades within the same generation and facelift period. You may find minor cosmetic differences in the surrounding bumper colour or finish depending on the donor car's spec, but the fog light unit itself should be the same. As always, confirm generation and facelift year with the breaker against both registrations to be sure.

The 2008 and 2014 Pathfinder are both R51 generation, but the R51 underwent a facelift around 2010–2011, meaning a 2014 unit is post-facelift and a 2008 unit is pre-facelift. Fog lights, along with the grille and bumpers, typically change at a facelift, so these two may not be a direct swap. Route this one to the breaker and ask them to check the part against your specific registration before purchasing.

No — engine size and drivetrain (whether your car is 4WD or 2WD) have no bearing on fog light fitment for the Pathfinder. The fog light housing and position are determined by the generation and facelift period, not by what's under the bonnet. Just confirm your model year and generation with the breaker to ensure the part matches your front bumper.
