Does it really 🤔 my car is on a 64 plate witch is 2015 ? I thought they didn’t do the upgrade until 2017 ? Deano
Link to the 2015 Leon brochure (print date Feb 2015) below - check out the ‘equipment availability Leon family‘ section towards the back of the brochure. Xenons weren’t available on the mk3 Leon either as standard or as an option.

Standard headlamps on the 2015 mk3 Leon were either halogen (S, SE, FR and X-perience SE models) or LED units (Cupra, Cupra 280 and X-perience Technology models). LED headlamps were an extra cost option on the SE, FR and X-perience models.

I’m not sure exactly when, but early on in the mk3 Leon’s lifecycle, Seat offered an optional Technology Pack that (I think) consisted of LED headlamps, sat nav and DAB radio for around £500 which at the time was very good value and popular with customers, which probably explains why most mk3 Leon’s seem to have LED headlamps.

As SRGTD has said - the headlights will be Halogen OR led
If your car has Satnav & DAB radio - then it probably had the tech pack fitted from the factory.

The 2017 date was the facelift car - not the date the Leon got led headlights.
The facelift car changed the style of the led headlights - they became full led rather than having a standard indicator bulb

My old 2014 FR 184 had the tech pack fitted and that had led headlights.

The car is an SE Technology so it has the tech pack so it has the LED lights.

Hi deano sorry to trouble you again if these are led ? How much off a difference do you think 🤔 they will be in price ?
Looking quickly on ebay you are around £400 for a 2013-2016 led headlamp

Hi Mr Pig so I take mine are LED? would you have any idea what they might cost 2nd hand or reconditioned thank you.
Just whatever you can find them for but they are not cheap. I would try local breakers, eBay, anywhere you can think of. Remember that they changed in 2017 so you want a 2013-2016 unit.

Yes; the cost of ‘bundled’ option packs such as the Leon’s technology pack are usually significantly cheaper than it would be to buy the individual items separately.

Back in 2013 when Seat were offering the technology pack on the mk3 Leon for a special offer price of £500, the normal price of the tech pack was £1,075. If the individual items in the pack were bought separately, the total cost would’ve been £1,915. The price of the LED headlamps at that time was £995.
