Used Peugeot Expert Rear Light

The Expert has gone through distinct generations: the first generation ran from 1995 to 2006, the second generation (sharing its platform with the Citroën Dispatch and Toyota ProAce) ran from 2007 to 2016, and the third generation launched in 2016 and is still current as of the mid-2020s. Rear lights are not interchangeable between these generations, so always make sure any used light you buy is from the correct generation for your van. Quote your registration to the breaker so they can confirm the exact generation before any part is sourced.

These two vans sit in different generations — the 2013 is second generation (2007–2016) and the 2017 is third generation (2016-onwards) — so the rear lights are not the same and will not interchange. The body panels and light apertures changed completely between these generations. You will need a rear light specifically from a third-generation Expert for your 2017 van.

For the rear light itself, the key variable is the body generation and the type of rear door fitted — barn doors or a tailgate — rather than wheelbase or roof height, as these affect the shape and position of the light cluster. That said, you should always confirm the exact variant with the breaker using your registration, as panel details can vary between short-wheelbase and long-wheelbase versions of the same generation. Never assume a light will fit without that check.

Yes, this is one of the most important things to get right — barn-door and tailgate variants have different rear-end pressings, and the light clusters are designed to suit each layout and will not swap between them. Check your own van before contacting a breaker and tell them which type you have. Quoting your registration will also help the breaker pull the correct part quickly.

Trim level does not affect rear light fitment on the Expert; the light cluster is determined by the generation, wheelbase, and door configuration rather than specification level. You may find that higher-spec vans left the factory with different badging or minor cosmetic details, but the light unit itself will be the same part. Any used light from a matching generation and body configuration should fit regardless of what trim the donor van was.

These three vans share the same underlying platform for that generation, and many mechanical parts cross over, but whether the rear light clusters are identical or differ in pressing or finish is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration rather than assume. Mid-generation changes can also introduce differences that are not immediately obvious. A good breaker who deals in these vans regularly will be able to tell you quickly whether a Dispatch or ProAce light is a straight swap for your Expert.
