TYC 20-5616-15-2 Headlight – Left Side

Whether it’s UV-yellowed plastic, a cracked lens from road debris, or a housing that no longer seals against moisture, a worn headlight compromises both looks and safety. The TYC 20-5616-15-2 headlight is engineered for the left side, restoring proper beam output and a weathertight seal.

Key Benefits

The TYC 20-5616-15-2 headlight is built to bring OE-level fit and beam performance back to your vehicle. Here’s what you get:

• OE-matching mounting points and housing shape, engineered to bolt directly into the factory opening without modification.
• Correct lamp socket configuration, matching the bulb type(s) of the original unit (see specifications table for details).
• Sealed housing construction, designed to keep moisture and condensation out of the lens.
• Correct traffic-side beam pattern, matching left-hand or right-hand traffic requirements where specified.
• Road-legal beam design, manufactured to relevant lighting regulations where the Registration Type attribute indicates ECE approval.
• Side-specific engineering, molded for the left side rather than a universal fit.
• Traceable manufacturing, identified by EAN 8717475011661 for accurate inventory and reordering.

Product Specifications

Every TYC 20-5616-15-2 headlight is manufactured to defined dimensional and performance tolerances. Full technical details are listed below; always verify fitment against your vehicle’s VIN before ordering.

Use Cases and Applications

Drivers typically order this headlight for scenarios such as:

• Replacing a headlight with a cracked, yellowed, or fogged lens that’s reducing nighttime visibility.
• Restoring a proper seal after finding moisture or condensation inside the housing.
• Addressing a headlight that failed a state safety inspection due to output, cracking, or fogging.
• Repairing damage from a minor front-end collision or road debris impact.

Because headlights are matched to specific sides, bulb types, and traffic-side beam patterns, always confirm fitment before ordering rather than relying on visual similarity alone. If you’re not sure whether the TYC 20-5616-15-2 matches your specific vehicle side or trim level, our support team can help you verify fitment using your VIN or your vehicle’s original headlight part number before you check out.

A headlight assembly does more than hold a bulb — the housing shape, reflector or projector design, and lens all work together to focus light into a specific beam pattern that meets safety regulations while avoiding excessive glare for oncoming drivers. That’s why a cracked or fogged headlight isn’t just a cosmetic issue: moisture intrusion can corrode the internal reflector coating and permanently reduce output, and a damaged lens can scatter light in ways that raise a failed inspection. Replacing the complete assembly, rather than attempting to reseal or polish a badly degraded unit, restores both the beam pattern and the weatherproof seal at the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I install this headlight myself?

Headlight replacement is often a DIY-accessible task involving removing the front bumper cover or working within the engine bay, depending on the vehicle. If you’re not comfortable with the process, we recommend having it installed by a certified technician, and having the beam alignment checked afterward.

What does the Lamp Type attribute mean?

The Lamp Type attribute lists the bulb type(s) this headlight is designed to use, such as H7 or H1. Always confirm this matches your vehicle’s original bulb specification before ordering, since bulb types are not interchangeable between different socket designs.

What vehicles is this headlight compatible with?

This TYC 20-5616-15-2 headlight is manufactured to fit the left side of its specified applications. Always cross-reference your vehicle’s VIN or OE part number against our fitment guide, or contact our support team through the contact page before ordering to confirm compatibility.

Why does the TYC 20-5616-15-2 cost $71.46?

Pricing reflects the TYC brand’s manufacturing quality, materials, and Standard positioning relative to other headlights in our catalog, while remaining competitive with comparable OE and aftermarket options.

Is this headlight street legal in my state?

Check the Registration Type attribute in the specifications table above. Many units are manufactured to ECE (European) approval standards; if your state requires DOT-approved lighting, confirm compatibility with your local inspection requirements before ordering.

Is this headlight legal for left-hand or right-hand traffic?

Check the Left-hand/Right-hand Traffic attribute in the specifications table above. Headlight beam patterns are designed differently for left-hand vs. right-hand traffic countries to avoid dazzling oncoming drivers, so this matters if you’re importing a vehicle or replacing a unit designed for a different market.

Does a new headlight need to be aimed after installation?

Yes. Headlight aim can shift when a unit is removed and reinstalled, and improper aim can either blind oncoming traffic or reduce your own visibility. Many shops offer headlight aiming as part of installation, or it can be checked against a wall at a measured distance following your vehicle’s specification.

Do you ship to my state?

Yes, we ship to all 50 U.S. states with tracked, insured shipping on every order.

How long does shipping take?

Orders ship nationwide to all 50 U.S. states. Standard delivery typically takes 3–7 business days depending on your location; expedited options are available at checkout. Full details are on our shipping policy page.

Is this a direct OE replacement?

Yes. The TYC 20-5616-15-2 is engineered to match the mounting points and housing shape of the original equipment headlight, so no additional modification is typically required for installation.

Does this headlight include the bulbs?

Check the specifications table above and the product images. Some headlight units include bulbs, while others are the housing and lens only — reusing your existing bulbs. Contact us through the contact page if you need this confirmed before ordering.

What is your return policy on this part?

Unused parts in original packaging can be returned within our standard return window. Review the complete terms on our warranty policy page or reach out via our contact page.

Does this headlight come with a warranty?

Yes, this part is covered by the manufacturer’s standard warranty against defects in material and workmanship. Warranty terms are outlined on our warranty policy page.
