Used Peugeot 208 Rear Light

The Peugeot 208 first generation ran from 2012 to 2019, with a facelift arriving in 2015, so a 2013 car is pre-facelift and a 2015 car could be either side of that boundary depending on build date. Rear lights commonly changed at facelift points, so crossing that 2015 boundary is a real risk here. Name the generation and confirm whether your car is pre- or post-facelift against your registration when you speak to the breaker, and ask them to verify the part number before committing.

No — the 3-door and 5-door Peugeot 208 have different rear quarter panels and different rear light shapes to suit them, so the two are not interchangeable. Always tell the breaker whether your car is a 3-door or 5-door hatchback, as this is the single most important thing they need to know. Fitting the wrong body-style light simply will not work.

Trim level does not affect rear light fitment on the 208 — the same rear light unit fits Active, Allure, GT Line, and other trim grades within the same generation and body style. However, you may find the lens tint or chrome detailing differs cosmetically between a part pulled from a lower and a higher trim car, so be aware the look might not be an exact match even if it fits. The breaker can advise on what the donor car's trim was if cosmetic finish matters to you.

No — the 2019 208 is a first-generation car, while the second-generation 208 (built on the CMP platform) launched in 2019 for the 2020 model year, meaning a 2021 car is an entirely different generation with a completely different body shell and rear light design. The two generations share no body panels and their rear lights will not interchange. Make sure you and the breaker are both clear on which generation your car is before any parts are ordered.

Engine and gearbox have no bearing on rear light fitment whatsoever, so whether your 208 is a petrol, diesel, or electric e-208, the same light fits within the same generation and body style. What the breaker does need to know is your car's generation, body style (3-door or 5-door), and whether it is pre- or post-facelift — confirm all of these against your registration when you request a quote.

Both a 2016 and a 2018 Peugeot 208 sit within the post-facelift phase of the first generation (facelift from 2015, generation ending 2019), so in principle they should share the same rear light design. That said, mid-generation pressing or specification changes can occasionally affect parts even within the same facelift run, so confirm the part number with the breaker against your specific registration to be certain before buying.
