OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — aftermarket LH Valeo 450914 / RH Valeo 450915

Accuracy note: Covers the Vauxhall Corsa (E 2014-2019) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. Headlights are sold by side (passenger / nearside = LH, driver's / offside = RH on a UK car) and by lamp type — halogen, xenon (D1S / D3S) and LED or full-LED units are not interchangeable, and DRL, cornering and levelling options change the part number again. The references below are UK aftermarket catalogue listings for this generation, labelled by brand; genuine numbers are shown only where a listing quotes one. Check the lamp type and traffic side (UK right-hand-traffic units, not LHD) against your VIN, and expect xenon / LED and adaptive units to need levelling adjustment or coding after fitting.

Passenger side (LH / nearside) headlight — aftermarket	Valeo 450914 (halogen, bulbs included); Prasco OP0364904 (halogen H7/H7, levelling); Prasco OP0304934 (halogen H7/H7, levelling); Prasco OP0324916 (halogen H7/H1, no levelling); Prasco OP0344916 (halogen H7/H1, black, levelling); Valeo 450918 (LED with LED DRL, no bulbs)
Driver's side (RH / offside) headlight — aftermarket	Valeo 450915 (halogen, bulbs included); Prasco OP0304933 (halogen H7/H7, levelling); Prasco OP0324915 (halogen H7/H1, no levelling); Prasco OP0344915 (halogen H7/H1, black, levelling); Hella 1LF 011 830-121 (bi-xenon D5S with PSY24W, LED and H11, LED DRL, levelling); Valeo 450919 (LED with LED DRL, no bulbs).
Bulb types	dipped/main H7 and H1, H15 on some higher-spec units, bi-xenon D5S, indicator PSY24W, sidelight H11 in the xenon unit.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	None quoted in catalogue listings — order genuine units against your VIN
Fitment notes	Mostly halogen; the top trims have LED or bi-xenon units, and LED DRL is listed only on the LED and xenon units.

A Genuinely Important UK Rule Worth Knowing Before You Buy — Vauxhall Corsa Headlights

If your Corsa has factory-fitted halogen headlamp housings, converting them to fit LED bulbs is treated as a definite MOT failure under the current inspection manual — this isn't a grey area or a minor advisory, since a housing designed for halogen doesn't distribute an LED bulb's light output correctly, which can genuinely dazzle oncoming drivers. If you want a genuine LED upgrade, the correct route is a complete headlight unit designed for LED from the factory, not a bulb swap into an existing halogen housing.

Before you buy: matrix LED, adaptive, and cornering headlight systems often require electronic coding to the car after a unit swap, even for a genuine like-for-like replacement — a headlight that isn't recognised by the car's electronics can trigger warning lights or fail to auto-level correctly. Check whether your specific trim has one of these systems before assuming a straightforward bulb-in, bulb-out job.

Vauxhall Corsa Headlights: What It Does

On the Vauxhall Corsa, main and dipped beam bulbs — or LED/matrix modules on higher-spec cars — live inside the headlight unit, angled carefully to illuminate the road without blinding oncoming traffic. The daytime running light and front indicator often share that same housing too, adding complexity to both fitment and repair.

Vauxhall Corsa Headlights: Generations, Derivatives & Headlight Type

Standard trims	Halogen as standard
GS Line/Ultimate	Full LED headlights with automatic functions become available further up the range
Corsa-e/higher trims (current generation)	Adaptive IntelliLux LED Matrix headlights are available — genuine camera-based technology that deactivates individual LEDs around oncoming traffic to allow permanent high beam without dazzling other drivers, shared with the Astra, Insignia and Mokka
