OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — aftermarket LH Valeo 044757 / RH Valeo 044758

Accuracy note: Covers the Renault Twingo (Mk3 2014-) 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 1LD 011 561-031 (halogen H4, PY21W, levelling motor, supplied with bulbs); Hella 1ED 011 561-011 (halogen H4, PY21W, levelling motor, supplied with bulbs); Valeo 044757 (halogen H4, no motor, for cars with electric levelling); Van Wezel 4368961 (halogen H4, no motor, for cars with electric levelling); Alkar 2761171 (halogen H4 with PY21W, electric); Abakus 551-11A8L-LDEM2 (halogen H4 with PY21W, electric operating mode)
Driver's side (RH / offside) headlight — aftermarket	Hella 1LD 011 561-041 (halogen H4, PY21W, levelling motor, supplied with bulbs); Hella 1ED 011 561-021 (halogen H4, PY21W, levelling motor, supplied with bulbs); Valeo 044758 (halogen H4, no motor, for cars with electric levelling; partner to 044757); Van Wezel 4368962 (halogen H4, no motor, for cars with electric levelling); Van Wezel 4371964 (halogen H4, levelling motor fitted)

Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	None quoted in catalogue listings — order genuine units against your VIN
Fitment notes	Halogen H4 only, with no xenon or LED options and no DRL listed; some Diederichs units are not for the facelift (usable on cars built to 04/2019), and levelling-motor units differ from motor-less units.

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

If your Twingo 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 Twingo Headlights: What It Does

The Renault Twingo'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.
