OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — aftermarket LH Valeo 044785 / RH Valeo 044786

Accuracy note: Covers the Citroen Berlingo (B9 2008-2018) 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 044785 (halogen H4, W5W, PY21W, motor, original part); Valeo 043778 (halogen H4, motor, original part); Van Wezel 0906961V (halogen H4, motor, OES, Valeo-made); TYC 20-11752-05-2 (halogen H4, electric levelling); Diederichs 4013683 (halogen H4, electric, Depo/TYC quality); Johns 23 32 09 (halogen H4, motor)
Driver's side (RH / offside) headlight — aftermarket	Valeo 044786 (halogen H4, W5W, PY21W, motor, original part); Valeo 043779 (halogen H4, motor, original part); Van Wezel 0906962V (halogen H4, motor, OES); TYC 20-11751-05-2 (halogen H4, electric levelling); Diederichs 4013682 (halogen H4, electric); Van Wezel 0905962 (halogen H4, motor)
Bulb types	dipped/main H4 (P43t socket), indicator PY21W, sidelight W5W
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	None quoted in catalogue listings — order genuine units against your VIN
Fitment notes	All units are halogen H4; no DRL information; Van Wezel 0905961/0905962 and 0906961V/0906962V are different fitments, so match the unit shape to the car. Prices roughly 95 to 200 GBP.

A Genuinely Important UK Rule Worth Knowing Before You Buy — Citroen Berlingo Headlights

If your Berlingo 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.

Citroen Berlingo Headlights: What It Does

On the Citroen Berlingo, 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.
