Used Vauxhall Tigra Indicator Light

The Vauxhall Tigra was sold in the UK in two distinct generations: the original Tigra (sometimes called Tigra A) produced from 1994 to 2000, and the Tigra TwinTop (Tigra B) produced from 2004 to 2009. Indicator lights are not interchangeable between these two generations as the front ends are completely different designs. Always confirm the generation of the donor car matches yours before purchasing from a breaker.

The original Tigra A received a facelift in 1997, which brought changes to the front-end styling including the lights, so early (1994–1996) and late (1997–2000) cars may use different indicator units. You should confirm with the breaker whether the part from a specific donor year matches your pre- or post-facelift registration, as crossing the 1997 boundary may or may not be compatible.

Both a 2005 and a 2008 Tigra TwinTop fall within the same Tigra B generation (2004–2009), and there are no widely documented facelift changes to the front indicator lights within this generation, making a match likely. However, confirm the specific part number with the breaker against your registration to be sure, as minor running changes can occur during a production run.

Trim level does not affect indicator light fitment on the Tigra — what matters is the generation and, for the Tigra A, whether the car is pre- or post-1997 facelift. Whether you have a base-spec or a higher-spec Tigra, the indicator unit on the same generation and facelift period should be the same, though cosmetic condition and lens colour may vary between individual donor cars.

A 1998 Tigra falls after the 1997 facelift, while a 1995 car is from the pre-facelift period, so these two cars sit on either side of the facelift boundary and the indicator lights may differ. You should confirm directly with the breaker whether the specific part from a 1995 donor is compatible with your post-1997 registration, rather than assuming they interchange.

The nearside (NS, passenger side) and offside (OS, driver side) indicator lights on the Vauxhall Tigra are handed — they are mirror images of each other and not interchangeable left to right. When contacting a breaker, always specify clearly whether you need the NS or OS unit to avoid being sent the wrong side.
