OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — aftermarket LH Valeo 451124 / RH Valeo 450931

Accuracy note: Covers the Ford Puma (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 451124 (LED, LED DRL); Van Wezel 1853963V (OES, LED with H1, orange indicator); Valeo 451016 (halogen design, orange indicator PY21W); Valeo 450930 (halogen design, orange indicator); Valeo 450926 (halogen design, orange indicator)
Driver's side (RH / offside) headlight — aftermarket	Van Wezel 1853964V (OES, LED with H1, yellow indicator); Van Wezel 1853962V (OES, LED low beam with H1, electric levelling, no control unit); Valeo 450931 (halogen design, orange indicator PY21W); Valeo 450927 (halogen design, orange indicator)
Bulb types	LED units are sealed; halogen units use indicator PY21W; H1 appears on the Van Wezel LED units
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	None quoted in catalogue listings — order genuine units against your VIN
Fitment notes	Limited coverage for the current Puma, with LED units (Valeo 451124, Van Wezel) alongside halogen-design Valeo units

A Genuinely Important UK Rule Worth Knowing Before You Buy — Ford Puma Headlights

If your Puma 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.

Ford Puma Headlights: What It Does

On the Ford Puma, the main and dipped beams, whether conventional bulbs or LED/matrix modules on higher trims, sit inside the headlight unit at an angle calculated to illuminate the road without dazzling other drivers. Many modern units also combine the daytime running light and indicator into that same housing, adding a layer of complexity to both part numbers and repairs.

Standard trims	Halogen dipped and main beam as standard — genuinely noted by owners as noticeably weaker than the LED alternative, particularly on main beam
Higher trims, factory option	Full LED headlights are a genuine option (not standard even on well-equipped trims) confirmed by owners as a significant, worthwhile upgrade over halogen
