facelift vs pre lights
#1
Hi, I have recently bought a 2012 facelift 1.7cdti, I bought it with front end damage, and am currently sourcing parts for the repair.

Is there any difference between post and pre facelift headlights? I thought it was just the front bumper that differed however now Ive started looking I suspect the headlights may be different in some way?

Problem I have is I dont have the old headlights for reference as theyre in a million pieces

Any help grately appreciated

welcome the headlights are all the same as i have face lift lights on my pre face lift car
there is just a bit of chrome inside the facelift lights
the bumpers will fit but you would need to change the bumper mounts at each side
to get a pre face lift bumper on your face lift car

The fog light and Indacator housing are different, ans the pre-lift uses H10 bulb were as face-lift uses H11

Theres plenty of bare ones about but all the trims seem to be dealer only, as you say mate the indicators, I wont pay through the nose for one, but Ive got till December till my ban is up :/ so no immediate hurry, I can hang on and see if something pops up
