A headlight is the complete front lamp unit — lens, reflector and housing together. If the unit itself is damaged, a new bulb will not fix it. Ring 07961 404768 with your registration and we will check which headlights fit your car.
What a headlight is
A headlight is the complete front lamp — the lens, the reflector and the housing that hold the bulb, all made as one unit. It shapes the light the bulb makes into a beam that lights the road without dazzling other drivers. Headlights are handed: the left and right units are different parts, and they are not interchangeable.
A headlight unit can fail in ways a bulb cannot fix. The lens can crack or go cloudy, the reflector can tarnish, and the housing can break after a knock. When the unit itself is damaged, the whole unit is what needs replacing — a new bulb will not make a cloudy lens clear or a cracked housing whole.
How to find the right headlights
Headlights are matched to the car and the body shape, and to whether they are for the left or the right side. Give us the registration for your headlight when you call. Or tell us the make, model, year and body shape. Tell us which side you need as well. If you have the old unit, the part number on it helps too.
If a headlight has gone dim rather than gone out, the bulb is one of the parts to check first — the bulb page below explains how to check fitment for a bulb before you buy a complete unit.

Headlights work with the bulbs inside them and the wiper blades that keep the screen clear. If only the light has gone, a bulb is usually what you need — the bulb page below explains how to check fitment.

Yes. Headlights are handed — the left and right units are different parts and they are not interchangeable. When you call 07961 404768, tell us which side you need as well as your car's make, model, year and body shape.
A lens that has gone cloudy with age is a fault in the unit itself, and a new bulb will not make it clear. Whether the unit needs replacing depends on how bad it is — describe what the headlight looks like when you call 07961 404768 and we will point you at the right headlight.
