2005–2014 · bulbs9/10 verified

Dip beam (low)H7VerifiedHalogen reflector headlamp. Bi-xenon AFL variants: D2S per birnen-typ, D1S per retrofitlab.
Main beam (high)H1VerifiedOften listed as H7 candidate: H7 is the dip (outer), H1 is main (inner). Onlinecarparts halogen headlamp units spec H7 dip + H1 main; retrofitlab agrees H1. Handbook confirms separate inner main / outer dip bulbs. Xenon variants bi elsewhere — xenon D1S/D2S.
Front fogH11Verifiedbirnen-typ H11; onlinecarparts fog units from Valeo (OE supplier), ALKAR, JOHNS, DT all spec H11. Some Abakus/TYC listings show H3 or H10 (autodoc noise likewise) - check fitted lamp on early/OPC cars, but H11 is the mainstream fit.
Sidelight / DRLW5WVerifiedW5W (UK 501) sidelight in headlamp. birnen-typ + Autobeam + W5W named in onlinecarparts headlamp unit specs. Some AFL/xenon unit specs list H21W position/DRL bulb instead - note for AFL-equipped cars. No factory DRL on most UK cars.
Front indicatorPY21WLikelyPY21W (amber, UK 581) per birnen-typ only; second-domain confirmation not found this pass - onlinecarparts headlamp unit specs named W5W/H21W but not the indicator bulb. No contradicting source; PY21W remains best value.
Rear indicatorPY21WVerifiedResolved vs Autobeam's P21W: Abakus and Magneti Marelli rear lamp units (pre- and post-facelift) spec 'P21W, PY21W' - the indicator takes amber PY21W (581); clear-lens units still need the amber bulb.
Brake / tailP21WVerifiedConfirmed: separate P21W (382) bulbs for brake and for tail, NOT a combined P21/5W - rear unit specs list only P21W + PY21W lamp types, no P21/5W. Matches birnen-typ separate Bremslicht/Schlusslicht P21W.
ReverseP21WVerifiedP21W (382). birnen-typ explicit; corroborated by rear lamp unit specs listing P21W/PY21W as the only bulb types in the cluster (no W16W).
Rear fogP21WVerifiedP21W (382). birnen-typ + Autobeam agree; consistent with rear lamp unit specs (P21W/PY21W only).
Number plateW5WVerifiedW5W (501). birnen-typ + Autobeam agree (two independent domains). Handbook has a number plate light section but states no bulb code.

Can you fit LED bulbs to the Zafira B?

Most trims of this car have halogen headlamps. In the UK, a halogen headlamp unit on a car first used on or after 1 April 1986 must not be converted to LED or HID bulbs: the MOT inspection manual (§4.1.4) treats a converted unit as a fail, however bright or well aimed it is. “Retrofit LED H7” bulbs sold for these cars are for off-road use. Halogen upgrade bulbs (+150% and similar) are legal because the unit is unchanged. Sidelights, indicators and number-plate LEDs are a separate question — E-marked LED versions of those are road legal.
