Our Recommendation
Buy from Amazon if you’re confident fitting parts yourself and the price on the day works out better. Choose Halfords if you want fitting included, need the part today (click & collect), or want a free battery check. For wiper blades and bulbs, Halfords advertises fitting with purchase and free battery checks, which can be worth the difference — confirm the current terms with your local store. We do not track prices, so compare both before you buy. Comparison last reviewed August 2026.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Halfords own-brand any good?
Halfords does not generally publish who manufactures its own-brand parts, and we have not been able to verify the supplier claims that circulate online, so we do not repeat them here. Judge an own-brand part the way you would any other: check that it matches the specification your car actually needs (battery type, case size and CCA; bulb fitment code; blade length and fitting type), and check the warranty offered at the point of sale.
Are Amazon car parts genuine?
Amazon sells both directly and through third-party sellers. Buying from a manufacturer storefront, or from a seller the manufacturer lists as authorised, is the most reliable way to know what you are getting, though no purchase route can be guaranteed. Check the part on arrival: a road-legal headlight bulb should carry an E-mark and its category code (H7, H4 and so on). If the markings are missing or the packaging looks wrong, return it.

How we check fitment for this guide
We cross-reference fitment figures against manufacturer specifications and OE-supplier catalogue data where available, and matched to the standard codes that actually govern fit — battery type/group sizes, wiper lengths and fitting types, bulb fitment codes, tyre size markings, and oil specifications. We work by make, model, year, engine, and build date, because a single model can take different parts across its life. Where the right part depends on your exact vehicle, we tell you to confirm by registration or VIN. More on our method →
