Headlight

Bulbs and individual housings sit in separate categories on Parthunt24. A full headlight assembly only needs replacing when the damage runs deeper than the consumables. Common signs that the whole unit is due:

• Cracked or shattered lenses
• Moisture build-up inside the housing that won't dry out
• Broken mounting tabs or brackets after a knock
• Faded or yellowed lenses that won't polish back to clarity
• Internal reflector damage causing poor beam pattern
• Failed adaptive or LED modules that can't be repaired separately
• Wiring or connector damage to the integrated control unit

A car headlight assembles the lens, housing, reflector, bulbs, and on modern cars the leveling motors and electronic modules into a single sealed unit. Driving with a damaged headlight is an MOT failure and a serious safety issue at night, since misaligned or dim beams dramatically cut what you can see ahead. Hunting down a matching replacement online is the slow bit, with headlights online listings spread across breakers and parts marketplaces with very different fitments.Parthunt24 aggregates used headlight listings from marketplaces like eBay, Ovoko, RicambiPro, Opisto, Proxyparts, Ecooparts, Autoparts-24, Totalparts. Compare 6529 options on price, condition, and fitment, then head to the marketplace once you've found the right unit.

A headlamp is a lamp attached to the front of a vehicle to illuminate the road ahead. Headlamps are also often called headlights, but in the most precise usage, headlamp is the term for the device itself and headlight is the term for the beam of light produced and distributed by the device. Headlight units fall into three main types: halogen (the cheapest option, still common on entry trims), xenon headlights (HID, brighter and reaching further), and LED headlights (most efficient and now standard on most newer cars). These technologies don't cross over, so the OEM part number and trim level need to match exactly. Start a Parthunt24 search with the OEM code or vehicle details, and the filters down the side (Category, Manufacturer, Series, Model, Modification, Price) trim the list to fitting units. Tap any result to land on the marketplace it's hosted on, where the seller handles the description and checkout.

• Vehicle compatibility: Match make, model, year, trim level, and OEM part number.
• Left vs right headlight: Headlights are usually side-specific.
• Halogen, Xenon, or LED: Verify lighting technology compatibility.
• Adaptive lighting support: Some vehicles use cornering or adaptive headlights.
• Headlight shape & housing: Facelift and non-facelift models often differ.
• Bulb compatibility: Check supported bulb types (H7, D1S, LED modules, etc.).
• Manual vs automatic leveling: Some headlights require electronic leveling motors.
• Daytime running lights (DRL): Verify DRL design and compatibility.
• Wiring & connector type: Plug configuration may vary between versions.
• Headlight control modules: Xenon and LED systems may require integrated ballast/control units.
• LHD vs RHD compatibility: Beam pattern differs between left-hand and right-hand drive vehicles.
• Condition: Check for broken mounts, moisture, fading, or cracked lenses.

Take a proper look through the seller's listing before placing the order. A used headlight can look clean from one angle while hiding crash damage, internal moisture, or a failed ballast in another, so close-ups from multiple sides matter more than the headline photo.

• Photos: Clear shots of the lens, mounting tabs, connector, and any moisture marks.
• Seller reputation: Buyer feedback, sales history, and review quality.
• Compatibility: OEM number and trim level checked against your vehicle.
• Included components: Bare housing, with bulbs, ballast, leveling motor, or control module?
• Condition: Lens clarity, mounting tab cracks, moisture, fading, internal reflector damage.
• Testing: Notes confirming bulbs fire, motors move, and the control module works.
• Warranty and returns: A clear path if the unit arrives damaged or non-functional.
• Shipping: Protective packaging to prevent lens scratches and mount damage in transit.

Headlight price varies a lot with the vehicle, the lighting technology, and any integrated electronics. A used halogen headlight from a common hatchback opens at €30-€80, mid-range xenon units sit at €120-€300, and full LED or adaptive matrix units for premium cars can push past €600 each. On Parthunt24, a headlight for sale starts from as low as 5.00. Factors that move the headlight price up or down:

• Technology: Halogen sits below xenon, which sits below LED and matrix units.
• Side: Driver-side units often cost slightly more than passenger-side.
• Brand: OEM sits at the top of the range; quality aftermarket sits below.
• Vehicle rarity: Common cars are cheaper; specialist applications cost more.
• Inclusions: Ballasts, bulbs, and modules bundled bump the headlight price.

Stacking headlight prices on Parthunt24 makes the gap between a tired pull and a clean, tested unit obvious at a glance.

If you're already pulling the front of the car apart for a headlight swap, it's worth checking the rest of the lighting system. The same age, vibration, and weather exposure that took out the headlight often shortens the life of neighbouring lamps too. Browse these on Parthunt24:

• Rear lights: Faded clusters and cracked lenses often show up at the same time as headlight wear.
• Fog lights: Easily forgotten until poor weather shows up a dead lamp.
• Reverse light: Common point of moisture damage on older cars.
• Number plate light: Tiny bulb that fails quietly and triggers MOT advisories.
• Tailgate light: Often perished alongside the boot seal that protects it.
• Bumper light: Stress cracks here let in moisture and trigger failures.
• Indicator repeater: Cheap to replace and worth checking with any front-end work.
