Hi, hoping someone can help out. I'm really struggling to find the correct replacement headlight unit. It's for a Fabia mk1 2005 petrol 1.4 16v  elegance, drivers side. I'd like a new one as the glass on the remaining one is super clean like new and all the used ones I've seen are cloudy. I can't seem to navigate the available brands and versions, or find the serial number on my unit... 

 

Thanks

This is a brand new one, made by Depo. I have used them, as has @TMB and others.

Thanks very much. I was surprised my local motor factor couldn't supply one, or a compatible wing mirror either. Actually they were surprised too, as he said it's still a popular car, round here anyway....

I've changed both sides and posted on MK1 Fabia about the place I bought mine from( DEPO ONES). I'm trying to find the post /remember the firm ,but their price was a lot less than Carparts4 less.  TMB might remember the post as he helped me finding the right ones and a few others liked the price. ( post was circa OCT last year as I changed both for MOT) .

ETA - before removing /replacing bottom bolt ( the one close to bumper) I found it usefull to tie a bit of string round the bolt ,as it's only too easy to drop it . And playing with the plastic spacer thing on same bolt makes it easier to fit bolt a space is limited. ( saves messing around with bumper fixings.

I think this is the company you used @VWD Buy car parts cheap | spare parts online | Energized Customs

I've used them for something (else) and had good service too.

Thanks, Pete. I've gone back through posts on here and found the origonal one

But I only used the first part of their name. As in Energised.  As in https://www.energizedcustoms.co.uk/

Great folk to deal with. As I said in my post re Carpparts & ECP, neither could tell me if their parts fitted. Perhaps it's because this firm is "local"-as in 45 minute drive from me if M6 behaving , but they also excel on delivery time.

 

 

worth remembering that carparts4less and exp are the same company...

so not surprised neither could tell you..

@mac - found that out last time I ordered parts from car parts. Main office for both is in Tamworth , a few miles up the road.
