OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — aftermarket LH Hella 1ZT 009 631-311 / RH Valeo 450919

Accuracy note: Covers the Vauxhall Zafira Tourer (C 2011-2018) 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	Prasco OP7214904 (halogen HIR2, motor); Magneti Marelli 710301214207 (halogen H7/H1 with H21W and W5W, electric levelling); Magneti Marelli 710301214203 (halogen H7/H1, motor); Magneti Marelli 710301214283 (xenon D1S/H7 with D2S, automatic levelling motor); Magneti Marelli 710301263207 (halogen, W21/5W and PY21W, motor, bulbs included); Prasco OP7194904 (halogen H7 and H1, motor)
Driver's side (RH / offside) headlight — aftermarket	Prasco OP7214903 (halogen HIR2, motor); Magneti Marelli 710301214208 (halogen H7/H1 with H21W and W5W, electric levelling); Magneti Marelli 710301214204 (halogen H7/H1, motor); Magneti Marelli 710301263208 (halogen, motor, bulbs included); Prasco OP7194903 (halogen H7 and H1, motor); Hella 1ZT 010 012-421 (bi-xenon D1S with LED and H11, DRL, motor)
Bulb types	dipped/main H7 and H1, HIR2 on the Prasco OP721490x units, xenon D1S, indicator PY21W, sidelight W5W, W21/5W, H21W.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	None quoted in catalogue listings — order genuine units against your VIN
Fitment notes	Halogen is standard with xenon, bi-xenon and LED at the top of the range; the Prasco OP7174903 and OP7174904 units are dated from 2005 and conflict with the 2011-2018 range, so are best avoided.

A Genuinely Important UK Rule Worth Knowing Before You Buy — Vauxhall Zafira Tourer Headlights

If your Zafira Tourer 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.

Vauxhall Zafira Tourer Headlights: What It Does

The Vauxhall Zafira Tourer'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.
