A used rear light 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 406 ran from 1995 to 2004, with a facelift introduced in 1999 that brought revised rear light units across the range. This facelift is the single most important boundary when sourcing a used rear light, as pre-facelift and post-facelift units are not the same. Always confirm which side of that 1999 line your car sits on before approaching a breaker.
The 1999 facelift changed the rear light design, so a pre-facelift unit from a 1997 car is very unlikely to be a direct swap onto a post-facelift 1999 or 2000 model. Name that boundary to the breaker — tell them whether your car is pre or post-1999 facelift — and let them confirm whether the specific part crosses it. Never assume the two generations interchange.
Yes, body style is the first thing to get right for rear lights on the 406. The saloon, estate, and coupe each have completely different rear light assemblies that do not interchange with one another. Tell the breaker your exact body style alongside your registration so they can pull the correct unit.
Trim level does not affect rear light fitment on the 406 — an LX, GLX, SR or SRi on the same body style and generation uses the same unit. You may find minor cosmetic differences such as lens tint or badging on some sourced parts, but these are aesthetic rather than a fitment issue. The body style and whether your car is pre or post the 1999 facelift matter far more than trim.
Body style is correct here — you must stick to estate-to-estate — but year still matters because the 1999 facelift updated the rear light design even on the estate body. If you are shopping across that 1999 boundary, confirm with the breaker against your registration that the specific part is compatible, as pressing or cluster changes between generations can catch buyers out.
Yes, nearside (NS, passenger side) and offside (OS, driver side) rear light clusters are handed and are not interchangeable, so always specify which side you need when contacting a breaker. Quoting your registration alongside the correct side will help the breaker pull the right unit from the correct generation and body style. Getting the side wrong is one of the most common simple mistakes when ordering body electrical parts used.
