OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — aftermarket LH TYC 20-15046-05-2 / RH TYC 20-15045-05-2

Accuracy note: Covers the Mitsubishi ASX (2010-) 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	Van Wezel 3201961 (halogen H11/HB3, with position light, no motor, for cars with electric levelling); Van Wezel 3201963 (halogen H11/HB3, with position light, electric levelling motor); TYC 20-15046-05-2 (halogen H11/HB3, electric levelling motor); Abakus 214-11ATLMLDEM2 (LED, electric levelling motor); Alkar 2741668 (LED, electric levelling motor); Van Wezel 3222965 (LED, no control unit)
Driver's side (RH / offside) headlight — aftermarket	Van Wezel 3201962 (halogen H11/HB3, with position light, no motor, for cars with electric levelling); Van Wezel 3201964 (halogen H11/HB3, with position light, electric levelling motor); TYC 20-15045-05-2 (halogen H11/HB3, electric levelling motor); Abakus 214-1199R-LD-EM (halogen H11/HB3); Abakus 214-11ATRMLDEM2 (LED, electric levelling motor); Alkar 2742668 (LED, electric levelling motor)
Bulb types	dipped/main H11 and HB3 on halogen units; LED units take no replaceable main bulbs; older-style H4 inserts also listed (Hella 1AE 003 427-011 and 1A6 002 395-071 with T4W sidelight)
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	None quoted in catalogue listings — order genuine units against your VIN
Fitment notes	Halogen (H11/HB3) and LED versions exist; most halogen units are sold with or without the electric levelling motor, so match the car's levelling; the LED units are the higher-spec trim. No xenon is listed.

A Genuinely Important UK Rule Worth Knowing Before You Buy — Mitsubishi ASX Headlights

If your ASX 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.

Mitsubishi ASX Headlights: What It Does

Inside the Mitsubishi ASX's headlight unit sit the main and dipped beam bulbs, or LED/matrix modules on higher trims, precisely angled to light the road ahead without dazzling oncoming drivers. Many current units also fold the daytime running light and front indicator into the same housing, which complicates both the part number and any repair.

Standard trims	Halogen as standard, with LED daytime running lights integrated on many trims
Higher trims	Full LED headlights become available further up the range on more recent generations, genuinely a different assembly and connector from the halogen units on lower trims
