Cheap Peugeot 308 Headlight

The 308 runs across two main generations: the first generation (Mk1) covered 2007 to 2013, and the second generation (Mk2) ran from 2013 onwards, with a facelift arriving around 2017. Headlights are not shared between these generations, so always make sure you're matching to the correct one. Within each generation, confirm the exact facelift period with your breaker against your registration, as front-end parts including headlights can change at that boundary.

Both years fall within the Mk2 generation (2013 onwards), and as long as neither car has crossed the 2017 facelift boundary, there's a strong chance the headlights will be compatible. However, confirm with the breaker using both registrations, particularly to rule out any mid-run lighting changes between halogen and xenon or LED variants. Never assume a swap will work without that check.

The Mk2 308 received a facelift around 2017, and headlights typically change at that point alongside the grille and bumper. Whether a pre-facelift unit physically crosses over to a post-facelift car is not something we can state as fact here — you'll need to confirm that directly with the breaker, quoting both registrations. Name the facelift year when you call so the breaker knows exactly which version you're asking about.

For the Peugeot 308, trim level — whether that's Access, Active, Allure, GT Line or GT — does not determine which headlight shell fits your car. What actually matters is the generation and whether your car is pre- or post-facelift. That said, higher trims sometimes came with xenon or LED headlights while lower trims had halogen, so the light unit inside the housing may differ — your breaker can match the correct variant to your car's specification using your registration.

Within the same generation and facelift period, front-end panels including headlights are shared across body styles, so differences in roof height or door count do not affect headlight fitment. The key questions remain which generation and which facelift period the donor car belongs to. Confirm both with your breaker against your registration before agreeing a purchase.

Ask for the OS (offside) headlight, which is the driver's side in a UK right-hand-drive car. Tell the breaker your registration, as this lets them confirm the generation, facelift period, and lighting technology (halogen, xenon or LED) that was fitted to your specific car. Getting all three details right is the best way to avoid ending up with a unit that looks close but doesn't match.
