How to install H7 headlight bulb DIY replacement Opel Astra Zafira Vauxhall

Hello,
In this video I am showing you how to install an H7 headlight bulb in simple steps on your car.
Before starting the job make sure that the ignition is off and the lights are turned off as well.
When you are installing the new H7 bulb make sure to not touch the glass, because it is an halogen so it can effect the life of the bulb itself.

Can I use the same way to change the other bulbs?

[@AdamFafinski]

Thank you! Best video I was able to find. Clearly shown which way bulb holder goes in, also taking fuse box cover off and disconnect connector did the trick.

Great 👍

[@paulbiggins8563]

Excellent instructions. Just to add: with my Zafira B (56 plate), when viewed from the connector side, to remove the bulb rotate anticlockwise so that the tab on the bulb moves from roughly 12 o'clock to roughly 10 o'clock, and then pull backwards. To refit, put the bulb tab in at around 10 o'clock and then rotate clockwise to 12 o'clock. Getting the tab aligned in the recess is the tricky bit. (Also, don't be tempted to remove the metal assembly from the plastic wiring housing, as you'll then have the additional dilemma of which way round it goes back on! Just pull the bulb straight out of the connector, maybe with a screwdriver to prise it apart initially).

Having just done this, I'd say: go in through the wheel arch on the left hand side (and consider removing the wheel), but via the airbox on the right. Use a screwdriver to prise the old bulbs out of the holders rather than trying to pull them out. The bulb wires on both sides align directly to the right of the bulb holder when in place. The bulbs only need rotated about 15 or 20 degrees to lock in place. Have arms the length and thickness of a supermodel. Plan on an hour start to finish, with copious swearing and praying to your deity of choice to please, please, just let the Goddamn thing line up properly this time.

Thanks for the video. Need to do mine tomorrow. Question: How does the bulb lock in place(secured in correct position) is it a clip or a screw? Thanks

[@WhatTube]

Hi, in my case there wasn't any clip or screw, so I just inserted it and turned it clockwise, there's only one way to go.
But in some cars there is a clip, so you need to remove that clip first then refit the bulb and at the end lock in place the clip.

I can't even get the old bulb out of the socket. I already pulled fairly hard but it won't move and I don't want to break anything. In your video was a cur before the bulb was a few mm out of the socket. How did you manage to do that?

[@07ORO]

I had the same issue. What I found is if you pinch the socket end and pull it slides out relatively easily

[@user-lz5mc9ld2z]

Hi, thanks for uploading the video. I am trying to change the bulb, can you please clearly instruct me on how I can change the old bulb to the new one, I can't remove the old bulb.
If you can please help me with it at your earliest convenience.
Thanks

[@user-lz5mc9ld2z]

If you can please help me out that would be great

[@WhatTube]

Hi, if it's same as mine then you need to turn it anticlockwise to loose the bulb and pull it out, to fit the new one just put it inside and turn it clockwise. It shouldn't be hard at all and there is only one way to put it inside.
Some comes with a wire clip, if so remove that one and just pull it out, there's no need to turn it.

[@user-lz5mc9ld2z]

@WhatTube Thank you for your reply. I tried it so many times, but it's so hard, I can't even turn the bulb. Is there anything that i need to press and then turn anticlockwise

[@FireFlySamson]

Having issues getting it back in. Do you have to push and turn it with a lot of force or should it be easy?

[@WhatTube]

Hi, it should be easy and not hard at all.
