I find it's a much easier job to just keep the old bulbs and replace the rest of the car with one which has sensible, easy access to commonly needed areas.
I did it like this today, and with my big hands it was easy. Really 3 min of work tops. Just make sure you remove the old bulb by using the attached plug. Dont unplug and then try to remove the bulb. Reinstall new one by plugging it first (test it) and then insert it by holding the plug. It's easy guys!
Great video as has just saved my over £60 if I had taken my wife's car to a Vauxhall dealer. The whole process only took me 20 minutes. the hardest part was putting the back cover back on.
Took me 3 minutes to get access to the filter box side bulb, and 50 minutes to get the actual bulb out. Freaking stupid design with clamps on something you cant really grab with your hand...
Great video, and a nice way to uncover a little scam: in newer models Opel uses tiewraps to hold cables, attached to...the same airfilterbox! And my garage claimed they replaced the airfilter...but that’s impossible without cutting all 8(!) tiewraps. Confronted, they didn’t admitted, but after cutting tiewraps and opening the box we found out this filter was the original one. We settled this matter with a bottle of whisky. Not a cheap one...
It takes also to read some instructions, but this is best video. Did the job in two minutes. No need even to take the fuse-box-cover of. With decent size hands. Though fly-fisherman, used to small hooks and nodes.
Some very useful clips of what's under/hidden behind the passenger (left hand) bulb cover. A small mirror and bright lamp/torch is essential for checking where the fiddly bits are (including those annoying clips). It can be done. Showed daughter who repeated all steps. Still needed more minutes (and a range of frustration words) than necessary. A key trick is to use your other hand, and turn it the other-way (e.g. left hand, palm forward to hook thumb under the wing to find that square hole that the end of the cover slides into - it's higher up than expected. The tab can be just seen squinting over the battery box with a strong lamp, etc)
Thanks for this video. It turns out not to be that crazy of a job with the airfilter out. I'm just confused that the manual says if you remove the air intake hose you're all good to go...
I took me like 40 minutes to put it back. First you should put the backcover in the rear mould (it looks like a slot) and then press it on the bracket and fasten it with the wire. The backcover should not supposed to be loosley. You can use a hand mirror or the front camera of your smartphone as well. Just to check if you have fastened the backcover in the rear slot before you press it on the bracket.
May sound like a daft question, but I’ve tried for 40 minutes to get the bulb out on the passenger side. Is it supposed to just pull out, or do you have to twist it, you know, like a quarter turn or something? I’m a former midwife, but my hand is bruised to buggery! Going to have another go tomorrow, but maybe arm myself with some KY Jelly…..😅
Quicker and easier to just take the headlight clusters out. 2 T20 screws by the wheel arch, 4 x 8mm bolts along the top of the bumper, side of bumper then clips off then 3 x 8mm bolts on the headlight unit and you can easily pull them forward or take them out
Worst thing I ever did succeeded in the end. For the people who are confused how to take the light bulb out there are two little clips holding the light bulb in I used a little screwdriver to push in one of the clips and then the light just popped out. How I found out was using my camera to record the inside of the headlight. Good luck!.
Nice job, but how did you loosen inside clips?, they are two of them so tight i culd not loosen them to pull blub out ( the blub in front of fuse box side)
Just push the bulb to the side and it unclips itself push towards Left on the passenger side and right on the drivers side, easier if the connector is still attached
hi, you know, when you speak "left" and "right" in a car, it means the driving direction, not the side when you stand in front of the motor. right means the side where airfilter is in. ok?
OK, I removed the airfilter I can reach the back of the bulb and removed the connector. But I cant remove the actual bulb, because there is something like a clamb holding it. My hands can reach the bulb but the mounting is hidden for my eyes. How to remove this bulb clamb ? Any suggestions ?
Dunno why you didn't do it the even easier way and leave the plug on bulb apply pressure to one side it comes free from the light housing and then put new bulb in the connector and put it back in a can do both sides in 5 mins tops without even taking the fuse box cover off or the air filter out
I ve tried this way and its impossible, spent half hour for stupid bulb and failed to change it....i will take the bumper off and the whole bulb, for me its othe only correct way and easier...
How do i get the fckin lamp out? Should I press in the noses or jizz in them the lamp is so solid in there if a tsar bomb would hit the car the lamp would be still in that fckn mounting.
Thanks for the nonexistend explanation. May remove this stupid music and say something about what your doin. But best example, everone just makes some clips in youtube but just a bunch of them are actually helpful. Bruh
Was in Halfords in Galway, Ireland today and the lad said he could put the bulb in but may not be able to put the cover back on! He recommended taking to a mechanic who'd take bumper off etc. I said fuck that I'd do it myself, it'd be a pleasure instead of trying to get that cont of a bulb out
I find it's a much easier job to just keep the old bulbs and replace the rest of the car with one which has sensible, easy access to commonly needed areas.
Hahahah..love the comment 😂
I will tell my wife - we are going to have a new car now, instead of a new bulb
PLease do tell which car that is? I've yet to find one. Except maybe an old Volvo.
Thanks for that video and also congrats to Opel's engineers for their tremendous efforts to make our life easier.

Reinstall new one by plugging it first (test it) and then insert it by holding the plug. It's easy guys!
And how to remove the bulb? Twist it pull it spit on it or shoot it with a bazooka
I spent like 1 hour to get that stupid bulb out of its socket. Thank you so much for that tip!
Great video as has just saved my over £60 if I had taken my wife's car to a Vauxhall dealer. The whole process only took me 20 minutes. the hardest part was putting the back cover back on.
Tell me about it. That cover is a bitch. Had to give up for now. Trying again tomorrow.
Finally a video that shows every detail. Thank you very much.
Took me 3 minutes to get access to the filter box side bulb, and 50 minutes to get the actual bulb out. Freaking stupid design with clamps on something you cant really grab with your hand...
You have to be a magician to replace left bulb (the one on the driver side, which was first) . It's just insane :)
best video so far on this, loved the way you showed every little detail , hats off to you sir
Thank you for the video. I’ve seen others saying you have to remove the entire headlight etc. I did the bulb in 5 mins! 👌🏼
Great video, and a nice way to uncover a little scam: in newer models Opel uses tiewraps to hold cables, attached to...the same airfilterbox!

ok. thanks. I'm glad my amateur movie could help
Thanks for the guide, it was easier than I thought after watching this, cheers.
thanks a lot. very good video.
Opel should be ashamed.
It takes also to read some instructions, but this is best video.
Did the job in two minutes.
No need even to take the fuse-box-cover of. With decent size hands. Though fly-fisherman, used to small hooks and nodes.
thanks Borut
They don't make it easy do they? Thank you Ford for making my life much easier.
thanks mate very helpful :D for the first time in 4 years of ownership of the corsa I finally changed the bulb by myself hahah :D

Much easier to change the car - great vid tho, cheers ... hope you took a much needed holiday after this 😎👍
Thanks to your video I did it myself and saved some money.
Just had to replace one of my bulbs took the air box out not too bad but should be unnecessary to do this. Good video.
It is an advantage if you are a trained gynecologist so you can get into the small crevices :)
Am I the only one that can’t do it ? The beam pattern is not correct I have tried multiple times. The only two bulbs I can’t change in any vehicle
Thank you this video was really useful to me.
Самое простое и понятное видео,спасибо
Bullshit like this is why I choose to drive a 20 year-old car.
Thanks for this video. It turns out not to be that crazy of a job with the airfilter out. I'm just confused that the manual says if you remove the air intake hose you're all good to go...
antalz yes the manual is stupid! I try the same but u have to take the Airfilter out.
Fcking corsa design 😂
7:06 how do you actually managed to put that bloody plastic cover back??? BTW. great video

Благодарю. Очень информативное видео.
Anyone who projected this headlights deserves special place in hell.
Excellent video! Good explaining! :)
Thanks
Best video about this f***ing corsa lamp. Tanks a lot from germany. And from my girlfriend.
Great video, I just dont understand why they dont make the car a inch longer.
Thank you help me alot!
your welcome

@@kernow24thank you, i was pulling it without connector, and it wont budge.
Very smart video! thanks a lot!
Good video nice guy. Thanks my friend
you can spare yourself the work getting the airfilter Hose off, just unsrew the complete airfilter (3 srews AG the bottom ) and bend it to the side
Thanks for the help
ale super _ a mechanicy ściągaja całe nadkola 🙂 i kasują po 150 zł
Thanks for your help!
hi, you know, when you speak "left" and "right" in a car, it means the driving direction, not the side when you stand in front of the motor. right means the side where airfilter is in. ok?
your right
OK,
I removed the airfilter
I can reach the back of the bulb and removed the connector.
But I cant remove the actual bulb,
because there is something like a clamb holding it.
My hands can reach the bulb but the mounting is hidden for my eyes.
How to remove this bulb clamb ?
Any suggestions ?
plug the connector to the bulb again and then try to unloosen it with your fingers. It's easier to remove with the connector on it...
Szkoda, że nie pokazujesz, że tym ząbkiem do góry.. tak ma być?? Pozdrawiam
Opel should let make it easier to change just a lamp
I took the front bumper off :)
How To solve i mounting points
So bad this design!!!!
Thank you:)
Thanks bulb changed.
your welcome
Dunno why you didn't do it the even easier way and leave the plug on bulb apply pressure to one side it comes free from the light housing and then put new bulb in the connector and put it back in a can do both sides in 5 mins tops without even taking the fuse box cover off or the air filter out
Baby Hands vs. Shovel Hands
Дружище, отличное видео, благодарю! Но Русский язык учи, а то ни хрена не понятно! Люди посмотрят и минусанут видео. Давай, добра и удачи!
Thank you 😊
I'm gonna try this tomorrow I've not got skinny fingers...
I ve tried this way and its impossible, spent half hour for stupid bulb and failed to change it....i will take the bumper off and the whole bulb, for me its othe only correct way and easier...
Thanks
Thanks :)
Can't get the mounts to push down did you use a tool?
no tool need
I don‘t know how to push down the mounts either.
Push it to the left and right?
Thx
You did not show how you really remove it and fox a new one you are joking
Tyvm
You must have Baby Fingers for make this... :(
Hi, what's the song called?
Do I have to bend these little mounting points away away on the left side to remove the fucking bulb, guys?
You have to press it lightly. I know it's a massacre
@@altussss Hi, it didn‘t work, I had to remove the whole frontlight!;(
Left side is fake, don’t think he actually changed it
How do i get the fckin lamp out? Should I press in the noses or jizz in them the lamp is so solid in there if a tsar bomb would hit the car the lamp would be still in that fckn mounting.
Fucking morn opel designers-
engineers
To add to the most pathetic design on a car ever we have a video with this annoying music. Anyone watching this would already be annoyed!!
not like it do not watch it, More important is how to replace the bulbs
Thanks for the nonexistend explanation. May remove this stupid music and say something about what your doin. But best example, everone just makes some clips in youtube but just a bunch of them are actually helpful. Bruh
👎👎
Fast way
Step 1: Buy a new car
This looks easy.
#tries it#: you god damn piece of c##p let me change you!!!.
Terrible design
Stupid music. I guess it is too much work to say a few words?
