OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — aftermarket LH Hella 1EX 012 977-611 / RH Hella 1EX 012 977-661

Accuracy note: Covers the Renault Captur (2013-2019) 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	Magneti Marelli 711307024450 (halogen H1/H1, no stated DRL, levelling not stated, OE-quality); Magneti Marelli 711307024448 (halogen H1/H1, OE-quality); Abakus 551-1199LMLEMN2 (halogen H1, electric levelling motor); Prasco RN7004924 (halogen H1/H1, electric levelling motor); TYC 20-17528-16-2 (LED, with DRL, electric levelling); Hella 1EX 012 977-611 (LED, with DRL, without control unit)
Driver's side (RH / offside) headlight — aftermarket	Magneti Marelli 711307024451 (halogen H1/H1, OE-quality); Magneti Marelli 711307024449 (halogen H1/H1, OE-quality); Abakus 551-1199RMLDEM2 (halogen H11, electric levelling motor); Prasco RN7004923 (halogen H1/H1, electric levelling motor); TYC 20-17527-16-2 (LED, with DRL, electric levelling); Hella 1EX 012 977-661 (LED, with DRL, without control unit)
Bulb types	dipped/main H1 (some units H11), indicator PY21W, sidelight W5W, P21W; LED units have no replaceable main bulbs
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	None quoted in catalogue listings — order genuine units against your VIN
Fitment notes	Halogen H1 units are the base fit and LED units (Hella, TYC, Magneti Marelli 714000028860/714000028861, Van Wezel) suit the LED-headlight trims; Hella LED units are supplied without control unit and need professional fitting.

A Genuinely Important UK Rule Worth Knowing Before You Buy — Renault Captur Headlights

If your Captur 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.

Renault Captur Headlights: What It Does

The Renault Captur's headlight unit houses the main and dipped beam bulbs (or LED/matrix modules on higher trims), positioned and angled to illuminate the road ahead without excessively dazzling oncoming traffic. Many modern units also integrate the daytime running light and front indicator into the same housing, which affects both the part number and the complexity of any repair.
