Peugeot 508 Headlight Replacement Parts

The 508 runs across two generations: the first generation (Mk1) covered 2011 to 2018, and the second generation (Mk2) launched in 2018 and is still in production. Headlights are not interchangeable between generations as the front-end design changed completely. Within each generation, the facelift boundary is the key question — the Mk1 received a facelift around 2014 which updated the front-end styling including the headlights.

A 2013 508 is a pre-facelift Mk1, while a 2016 508 is a post-facelift Mk1, and the facelift around 2014 brought changes to the headlights, grille and bumper. Because this swap crosses that facelift boundary, you should confirm with the breaker against your registration whether the specific unit they have will fit your car. Never assume pre- and post-facelift headlights swap directly without checking.

No — headlights are front-end components and the front-end panels are shared across body styles within the same generation and facelift period of the 508. A saloon and an SW estate from the same generation and facelift period will use the same headlight unit. Just confirm the generation and whether your car is pre- or post-facelift when contacting a breaker.

Trim level — whether your car is an Access, Active, Allure, GT Line or GT — does not affect headlight fitment in terms of the physical unit fitting the car. However, different trims may have been fitted with halogen, xenon or LED headlights depending on specification, so the light technology inside the unit may differ even though the fitting is the same. Confirm the light type (halogen, xenon or LED) on your specific car with the breaker against your registration to make sure you get a matching unit.

The Mk2 508 launched in 2018 and both a 2019 and a 2021 car sit within the same second-generation platform, so fitment is likely provided there has been no facelift update between those years that changed the headlight design. Check with the breaker against both registrations to confirm no mid-generation revision affected the specific unit. If both cars are the same facelift period, the NS and OS headlights should correspond correctly so make sure you specify which side you need.

Engine choice has no bearing on headlight fitment — the front-end of the 508 is the same regardless of whether the car is a diesel, petrol or plug-in hybrid (PHEV). What matters is the generation (Mk1 2011–2018 or Mk2 2018-on) and which side of the facelift boundary your car sits on. Confirm those two details with the breaker along with your registration and the light technology (halogen, xenon or LED) fitted to your car.
