Typically, a Genuine Aston Martin Headlight replacement is supplied as the main housing and lens. For older Xenon models, the HID bulbs and ballasts (control modules) are often sold separately or can be transferred from your old unit if they are functional. For modern LED models, the light source is usually integrated, but the primary power modules may still be separate components.

Minor misting can occur due to temperature fluctuations and is usually cleared by the internal vents. However, if standing water or heavy droplets appear, the seal has likely failed. Because these units are precision-bonded, repair is rarely successful; a genuine replacement is the recommended path to prevent short-circuiting the expensive internal electronics.

In most cases, yes. Aston Martin often offers different aesthetic finishes for the same headlight housing (e.g., Chrome vs. Black). As long as the lighting technology (LED vs. Xenon) is the same, these are usually a direct physical fit, though we recommend replacing them as a pair to ensure a perfect visual match.

If your Aston Martin is equipped with an Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS) or high-beam assist, the new unit may require a re-learn or calibration procedure using the Aston Martin Diagnostic System (AMDS). This ensures the leveling motors and swiveling projectors are perfectly aligned with the car's suspension and steering sensors.
