Mercedes-Benz CLA Fog Lights: Specs, Fitment & Common Faults

On the CLA, there's genuinely no separate fuse for the fog lights at all on many modern models, since the entire system is controlled by the body control module instead.

OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — aftermarket Hella 1N0 009 295-077 / Hella 1N0 009 295-087

Accuracy note: Covers the Mercedes-Benz CLA (C117 2013-2019) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. Front fog lights are sold by side on some cars and as a one-size-fits-either-side lamp on others, and the bulb (H11, H8, H16, HB4, H3) and any cornering-light or LED DRL function change the part number. 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 whether your trim had fog lights fitted at all (many base trims use a blanking panel), confirm the bulb type against the old lamp, and watch for lamps marked left-hand-drive only.

Mercedes-Benz CLA Fog Lights: Rarely Used, Easy to Forget About Until Needed

Fog lights are one of those parts on the Mercedes-Benz CLA nobody checks until they need them, and with most owners using them only a few times a year, a fault can linger unnoticed for a long time before a foggy morning finally reveals it.

Before you buy: fog light fitment and bulb type vary by trim — not every trim level includes them as standard. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

Mercedes-Benz CLA Fog Lights: What It Does

Front fog lights are angled and positioned to illuminate the road surface in low visibility conditions without creating the glare a standard headlight beam would in fog. Some higher trims of the CLA integrate fog lights into the same housing as cornering lights or daytime running lights, which affects both the part number and the complexity of any repair.

Fitment & Compatibility

Mercedes-Benz CLA Fog Lights: Generations, Derivatives & Fog Light Type

Standard/non-AMG carsRound halogen fog lamp as standard — confirmed as a genuinely different design from Sport/AMG package cars, not just a finish difference
AMG Styling Package carsA different fog light design specific to this package, not interchangeable with the standard round halogen unit; some non-AMG cars without the Luxury Package have no fog light fitted at all, just a blanking cover

Not every trim level of the CLA comes with fog lights fitted as standard, and the housing design often differs between trims that have them integrated with other lighting functions and those with a standalone unit. Always confirm your specific trim's fitment before ordering. Whether you're sourcing a replacement fog lights for your Mercedes-Benz CLA from a dealer, specialist, or online marketplace, always check compatibility against your registration or VIN before buying, and confirm you're ordering the correct side — driver's side (RH in the UK) or passenger side (LH in the UK) — since these are not interchangeable.

A Genuinely Important, Distinctive Finding Worth Knowing — Mercedes-Benz CLA Fog Lights

If a fog light fault has appeared and you can't find a relevant fuse, this is genuinely worth knowing: on many modern models, there's genuinely no separate fuse for the fog lights at all, since the entire system is controlled by the body control module instead.

A genuinely distinctive finding worth knowing: only one rear fog light is actually fitted on many models, positioned on the driver's side only, rather than there being a matching pair.

It's also genuinely worth knowing that replacing any external light bulb with an LED bulb can genuinely trigger a "defective lights" warning message on the dashboard, not necessarily indicating a genuine fault.
