Aston Martin New Vantage Headlights R KY63-13W029-BE
The part number KY63-13W029-BE identifies the Right-Hand (RHS) Headlight Assembly for the second-generation Aston Martin Vantage (2018–2024).
This unit is a full-LED assembly that defines the “predatory” front-end aesthetic of the modern Vantage. While the “New Vantage” (2025/2026 facelift) has moved to a larger, more vertical Matrix LED design, this part number specifically fits the sleek, slim-profile lights of the pre-facelift models.
1. Side & Specification
-
Side: Right-Hand Side (RHS) / Passenger Side (LHD markets like the USA/Europe).
-
Market: The -BE suffix indicates this is a Left-Hand Drive (LHD) specification.
-
Note: If you are in a Right-Hand Drive market (UK/Australia), you would typically need the -AE or -AF revision to ensure the beam “kick” points the correct way to avoid blinding oncoming traffic.
-
2. Technical Features
-
Low/High Beam: High-intensity LED projection with a “sharp gaze” focus.
-
Signature DRL: The ultra-thin C-shaped LED strip functions as both the Daytime Running Light and the sequential indicator.
-
Bezel Finish: The KY63 series typically features a Black Internal Bezel, giving it the aggressive “smoked” look standard on the V8 Vantage.
3. Pricing & Availability (2026 Estimates)
The 2018–2024 Vantage headlights are significantly expensive due to the integrated LED control modules.
| Condition | Estimated Price | Note |
| New OEM (Dealer) | $4,100 – $4,600 (£3,400) | Usually a special-order item from Gaydon. |
| Used (Excellent) | $1,700 – $2,300 | Common on eBay; ensure the “S-arc” LED is fully functional. |
| Aftermarket (New) | $1,600 – $1,800 | Available from high-end Chinese lighting specialists; check for warranty. |
4. Installation & Compatibility
-
Model Fitment: Fits all V8 Vantage (2018–2024) and V12 Vantage (2022–2023) models.
-
Coding: These are not simple “plug and play” units. The Ballast/Control Unit (often mounted to the bottom of the housing) must be “paired” to the car’s central computer. If you are swapping your old ballast to the new housing, it may work immediately; otherwise, a dealer reset is required.
-
Access: To replace this unit, you must remove the front wheel arch liner. Accessing the top mounting bolts requires careful alignment to ensure the panel gaps between the hood and bumper remain consistent.
Important Note: The 2025/2026 “New” Vantage
If your car is the 2025 or 2026 Facelift model (which features a much larger grille and headlights similar to the DB12), this part number (KY63) will not fit. The newest models use the RY63 or RY53 prefix parts, which are significantly taller and utilize Matrix LED technology.
