OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — aftermarket LH Valeo 043972 / RH Valeo 043973

Accuracy note: Covers the Renault Scenic (Mk4 2016-) 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	Hella 1EL 012 293-411 (halogen H7/H7, LED DRL, levelling motor included, PY21W indicator); Valeo 043972 (halogen H7, no DRL, electric levelling, motor not included); Diederichs 4467481 (halogen H7/H7, LED DRL, levelling motor included); Van Wezel 4376961 (halogen H1/H7, no DRL, levelling motor included); TYC 20-1068-05-2 (halogen H7/H1, electric levelling motor included); Abakus 551-1144L-LD-EM (halogen H1/H7 with W5W, PY21W, electric operating mode)
Driver's side (RH / offside) headlight — aftermarket	Hella 1EL 012 293-421 (halogen H7/H7, LED DRL, levelling motor included, PY21W indicator); Valeo 043973 (halogen H7, no DRL, electric levelling, motor not included); Valeo 044764 (halogen H7, no DRL, electric levelling, motor not included); Abakus 551-1177R-LDEM2 (halogen H7 with W5W, PY21W, electric); TYC 20-1067-15-2 (halogen H7/H1, electric levelling, motor not included); Abakus 551-1144R-LD-EM (halogen H1/H7 with W5W, PY21W, electric operating mode)
Bulb types	dipped H7, main H7 (some units list H1), indicator PY21W, sidelight W5W
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	None quoted in catalogue listings — order genuine units against your VIN
Fitment notes	Only halogen units are listed (no xenon or full LED headlights), with LED DRL on the Hella and Diederichs 4467481 units; some TYC, Abakus and Diederichs references list H1 and may be for the older Scenic III, so confirm fit by build date.

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

If your Scenic 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 Scenic Headlights: What It Does

The Renault Scenic's headlight unit job is positioning the main and dipped beam bulbs (or LED/matrix modules on higher trims) to light the road without dazzling oncoming drivers. That housing frequently also contains the daytime running light and front indicator, which is exactly why part numbers and repairs here can get complicated.
