Used Peugeot 207 Headlight

The Peugeot 207 ran from 2006 to 2012 in the UK, and received a facelift in 2009 that updated the front end including the headlights, grille, and bumper. This means there are two distinct front-end designs: pre-facelift (2006–2009) and facelift (2009–2012). When searching for a used headlight, knowing which side of that 2009 boundary your car sits on is the most important thing to establish before buying.

Your 2010 car is a facelift model and the 2008 is pre-facelift, so these sit either side of the 2009 facelift boundary where the front-end styling changed. It is possible the headlight units differ in design and fixings as a result, but whether this specific part crosses that boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume. Give the breaker both registration plates and ask them to cross-reference before you commit.

Trim level — whether your 207 is S, SR, SE, GT, or another grade — does not affect headlight fitment, as front-end panels are shared across the range within each generation period. What can vary is whether the car was fitted with halogen or xenon headlights, and this is a variant difference rather than a trim-specific rule, so confirm with the breaker which type your car has against your registration. Fitting the wrong type could mean missing or incompatible wiring, so it is worth being precise on this point.

No — the headlights on the 207 are part of the front-end structure, which is shared across the different body styles within the same generation and facelift period. The number of doors on your car makes no difference to headlight fitment. What does matter is confirming the model year so the breaker can place it correctly as pre-facelift or post-facelift 2009.

No, the nearside (passenger side, left) and offside (driver side, right) headlights are handed and are not interchangeable with each other. Always specify NS or OS clearly when asking for a quote from a breaker, and double-check the unit you are sent matches the side you need before fitting.

2009 sits right on the facelift boundary for the 207, meaning cars registered in that year could be either pre-facelift or facelift specification depending on when in the year they were built and registered. The safest approach is to give the breaker your full registration number so they can identify the exact specification rather than going by year alone. If you can also describe or send a photo of your existing headlight unit, a good breaker will be able to match it confidently.
