    why would people dislike, it saved me money in doing my own repair/replacement. if people found this this hard just imagine doing the front lights, done this many times and yet still gives me chills when I have to replace the front.

      Thanks a lot for watching, I’m glad it helped. Some people will find a reason to dislike. I’m always trying to improve my video’s, but you can’t please everyone. Thankyou.

      @@drivewaydiyer6504 Great video - the hours you have saved so many people (not to mention saving: broken light units, multiple grazed knuckles, lots of swearing, kicked-dogs, family arguments). You probably deserve some sort of national honour.

      Vauxhall front lights are a nightmare. The rear ones are very easy (after watching this)

    Thanks for the video, seems straight forward, but I would mention that we shouldn't touch the bulbs with our fingers as this causes the bulbs to fail sooner, something to do with the oils on our skin I heard. thanks again.

    Great - I've used this 3 times. Thanks so much. BUT - now I need to replace the OTHER side - the driver side. It is really difficult to get to the top screw. I can't seem to open up the panel either. Is there a video? There are a few unclear ones on YT but they don't work!

    • @drivewaydiyer6504
      @drivewaydiyer6504  3 роки тому +1

      Hi , sorry about the late response, mine has a panel, which opens. There’s an inflation kit in there. You may want to take that out, you can reach in there and twist the screw, you might need something to start it, though.

      Pretty sure the metal bracket comes out, when you unscrew it, to gain access. Have you took the foam, insert out?

    Great vid but it has to be said - Vauxhall’s make things so difficult. Why Tx screws all the time?! Even their stereos have them 🤬

      I had to invest in a torx tool set. It’s annoying, but the only way. You can get a decent set off Amazon or eBay, for not much money.👍
