Quick answer
Volvo gave the VNL a major front-end facelift for the 2018 model year, so the bumper, grille and headlights use DIFFERENT part numbers on pre-2018 vs 2018+ trucks even though both wear the VNL badge — the top cause of wrong-part returns. Confirm the model year off the door jamb or VIN and match the generation. The 2018+ center bumper cross-references to 82750060, and a pre-2018 headlight won't seat or plug into a 2018+ truck.
The 2018 VNL refresh changed most front-end part numbers. Order by the wrong generation and it won't fit — here's how to buy the right VNL parts the first time.
The 2018 line in the sand
Volvo gave the VNL a major front-end facelift for the 2018 model year. The bumper, grille, headlights and much of the surrounding trim were redesigned, which means the pre-2018 and 2018+ trucks use different part numbers even though both wear the 'VNL' badge. This is the number-one source of wrong-part returns on VNL front-end orders.
Before ordering any front-end part, confirm the model year off the door jamb or VIN and match the generation.
Front-end parts that changed
- Bumper: the 2018+ center bumper assembly (cross-references to 82750060) does not interchange with the classic VNL bumper.
- Headlights: the housing and connector changed — a pre-2018 lamp won't seat or plug into a 2018+ truck.
- Grille and chrome trim: redesigned profile and clips; match by the number on the old piece.
How to buy it right
Match the number stamped or molded on the old part, or use the free VIN lookup so the catalog only shows parts verified to fit your exact VNL build. Every listing carries its cross-reference number and side (driver/passenger) — for lights and mirrors the side is the driver's left/right, and the two sides are not symmetrical.
Frequently asked questions
Did Volvo VNL parts change in 2018?
Yes — the 2018 facelift redesigned the bumper, grille, headlights and surrounding trim, changing most front-end part numbers. Pre-2018 and 2018+ VNL front-end parts are not interchangeable.
How do I know which VNL generation I have?
Check the model year on the door-jamb sticker or decode the VIN. Then match front-end parts to that generation — or use the free VIN lookup so the catalog only shows parts verified to fit your exact build.
Are the left and right VNL headlights the same?
No — headlights are side-specific (driver's left/right) and the two sides are not symmetrical. Match the side and the generation, using the number on the old lamp.
