Fitment questions

What years does the Volkswagen Sharan headlight fit?

The Sharan has two main generations: the first-generation Mk1 ran from 1995 to 2010, and the second-generation Mk2 ran from 2010 onwards. Within the Mk2, there was a facelift around 2015 which updated the front end including the headlights. You need to match your car to the correct generation first, then confirm with the breaker whether the part is pre- or post-facelift.

Will a headlight from a 2013 Volkswagen Sharan fit my 2017 Sharan?

Both years are Mk2 Sharan, but 2013 is pre-facelift and 2017 is post-facelift — the facelift arrived around 2015 and brought changes to the headlights and front end. Because these sit either side of that facelift boundary, direct interchangeability is not guaranteed, and you should confirm with the breaker using both registration numbers before purchasing.

Does the trim level affect which headlight I need for a Volkswagen Sharan?

Trim level does not affect the fundamental fitment of the headlight on the Sharan — the front-end panels are shared across the range within a given generation and facelift period. However, higher trims such as SE, SEL, and R-Line may have been fitted with xenon or LED headlights rather than halogen, so the light units themselves will look different even if the aperture is the same. Confirm with the breaker whether the unit they have matches your lighting type.

Do Mk1 Volkswagen Sharan headlights fit a Mk2?

No — the Mk1 (1995–2010) and Mk2 (2010 onwards) are completely different platforms with different front-end designs, so headlights are not interchangeable between generations. Always make sure the part is sourced from the same generation as your vehicle.

Does it matter if my Sharan is a petrol or diesel when buying a replacement headlight?

No, the engine type has no bearing on headlight fitment for the Volkswagen Sharan — the front-end assembly is shared regardless of what is under the bonnet. Focus instead on matching the generation, facelift period, and lighting technology (halogen versus xenon or LED) to your specific car.

How do I know if I need a pre-facelift or post-facelift Mk2 Sharan headlight?

The Mk2 Sharan facelift took place around 2015, after which the headlights, grille, and bumper were restyled. If your car was registered before 2015 it is almost certainly pre-facelift, and from 2015 onwards it is likely post-facelift, but cars built close to that changeover date can be ambiguous. Give the breaker your registration number so they can confirm exactly which specification your car left the factory with before they supply the part.
