Second Hand Peugeot Boxer Headlight

The Boxer has run in two main generations on the UK market: the first generation (X230 platform) ran from 1994 to 2006, and the second generation (X250 platform) launched in 2006 and continues to the present day, with a facelift arriving in 2014 that updated the front end including the headlights, grille and bumper. Parts from within the same generation and facelift period are generally interchangeable, but you should not assume a pre-2014 headlight will swap directly onto a post-2014 facelift model or vice versa without confirming with the breaker against your registration. Always give the breaker your reg so they can verify the exact part needed.

This question spans the 2014 facelift boundary on the second-generation (X250) Boxer, which means the front-end styling changed between those two model years. Both vehicles are X250-generation Boxers, but because the 2012 is pre-facelift and the 2016 is post-facelift, the headlight units are unlikely to be the same design. Confirm with the breaker whether the specific headlight from a 2012 crosses that facelift boundary to fit your 2016, quoting your registration number.

No — wheelbase (short, medium, long) and roof height (low, medium, high) do not affect headlight fitment on the Boxer, because the front-end panels including headlights are shared across all body lengths and roof configurations within the same generation and facelift period. A headlight from a long-wheelbase high-roof panel van will be the same unit as on a short-wheelbase low-roof model of the same year range. Focus your search on getting the generation and facelift period right, not the body dimensions.

Trim level alone does not determine headlight fitment on the Boxer — a headlight from a entry-level model is the same shell as one from a higher-spec trim such as Professional or Asphalt, provided they are from the same generation and facelift period. The one cosmetic difference to be aware of is that some higher-specification or optional-equipment variants may have been fitted with different bulb technologies (for example halogen versus LED), so the internal cluster could look different even on the same year. Confirm with the breaker whether the unit they have matches your bulb type, using your registration as reference.

Your 2019 Boxer is a post-facelift second-generation (X250) model, so you should be looking for headlights from other post-2014 facelift X250 Boxers, which runs up to the current production model. Pre-2014 X250 headlights come from a different front-end design and are unlikely to be a direct fit, so avoid those. Give the breaker your registration and the donor vehicle's reg to confirm compatibility before purchasing.

The Boxer, Citroën Relay and Fiat Ducato share the same platform and are often referred to as sister vans, and in many cases headlight units do interchange across these badges within the same generation and facelift period. However, there can be differences in badging, wiring connectors or minor styling details between the three, so this is not guaranteed. Ask the breaker directly whether they have a Relay or Ducato headlight that crosses over to your Boxer, and provide your registration for a definitive answer.
