A used headlight that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:
The Peugeot 208 has two distinct generations: the first generation ran from 2012 to 2019, and the second generation launched in 2019 and is still current. Headlights are not interchangeable between the two generations as the front ends are completely different designs. When searching for a used headlight, make sure you and the breaker are both working from the same generation confirmed against your registration.
The first-generation 208 received a facelift in 2015, giving it a revised front end including updated headlights. Because the facelift boundary is exactly where lights, grilles and bumpers typically change, a pre-facelift (2012–2015) headlight may not match a post-facelift (2015–2019) car and vice versa. Name that 2015 boundary clearly when contacting a breaker, and ask them to confirm whether the specific unit they have matches your side of it before buying.
No, the door count does not affect headlight fitment on the 208 — the front end panels, including the headlights, are shared across body styles within the same generation and facelift period. Just confirm the correct generation and whether your car is pre- or post-facelift with the breaker, and door count can be ignored entirely.
Trim level — whether Active, Allure, GT Line or others — does not determine which headlight physically fits your 208. However, different trims were offered with either halogen or LED/projector headlight units, so a headlight from a lower-spec car may look visually different or lack the same light source as your original. Confirm with the breaker that the unit they have matches your exact headlight type against your registration, not just the trim name.
This question crosses the 2015 facelift boundary, which is exactly the point where Peugeot revised the 208's front end, including the headlights. A 2014 car is pre-facelift and a 2017 car is post-facelift, so there is a real chance they are different units. You should confirm with the breaker whether the specific headlight they have is compatible with your post-facelift 2017 car before purchasing.
Yes, this matters every time — headlights are handed, meaning the driver's side (OS, right-hand side on a UK car) and passenger's side (NS, left-hand side) are different units and are not interchangeable. Always specify NS or OS clearly when contacting a breaker, along with your generation and facelift period, to make sure you receive the correct part.
