Thank you so much for the video! I wish I’d watched it all the way through the first time as I tried doing it myself and had your problem of the lights permanently staying on. I was also doing it myself and so couldn’t do both jobs. I’d pushed the switch all the way in as that was the only way to get it to turn into place, and it seems that little piece of red plastic is perhaps a locking mechanism of some kind? I couldn’t get the switch to turn into place the 2nd time but my wife spotted the red plastic wasn’t in the same position as the old one, and lo and behold she fitted it fully extended while I had my foot on the pedal.

1 piece of advice, I have an Opel Insignia sport tourer 4 x 4 2.0 CDTI 160 CV, I advise you to remove the screw which is located under the headlight, it is screwed into a metal bracket, you will also have to bend this so as not to become a nuisance! I explain why it is necessary to remove this screw, I was hit by another vehicle which damaged the bumper, I had my garage repair the bodywork, but they did not see the problem with the headlight , during the impact, the tab and the screw moved and a large part of the plastic of the headlight (below, near the ballast) was broken, no one saw it, on the other hand, when there was the first heavy rain and that I drove in the rain, I had a headlight fault, the next day, I removed the headlight and I noticed that the headlight was filled with water, especially the ballast which is underneath, as the ballast is at the lowest point of the lighthouse, the water which entered from below the lighthouse drowned the ballast! I remind you that the ballast is expensive, and you should not buy the ballast made in China, you must at all costs buy the ballast in the video, a real piece, not a copy from Turkey or China, otherwise, so be it works but with defects, or not at all!! the xenon bulb costs 208 euros in my garage, the ballast 390 euros and the headlight without bulb and without ballast 1890 euros!! so for a simple screw, remove this damn screw!!

Same position on 208 under the little cover but a bit of vent in the way that you just need to bend out. May be the same switch. I got a cheap replacement for £8 and it did not work so got a better one for £13 and it was fine. The switch automatically adjusts itself on assembly and on the 208 does not work properly if removed from mount to press manually. My lights kept coming on for 80% of the time.

Hello, the right side headlight had some condensation at first and the bulb went out and shortly after that the drl light also started flickering and went out. I bought new xenon bulbs but that wasnt the problem until i noticed that the ballast was full of water. the thing is my xenon light works now but my drl is not turning on (right side) could it be that the led module is fried from the water damage? Should i just replace the whole headlight or is it better to just try and find a new drl module? Im thankful for any answers!
@bobgriffiths 8 ай бұрын
Sorry but I wouldn't want to recommend any course of action that might cost you more money with no guarantee of working, I think it's probably wise to seek assistance from a mechanic or a professional car repairing person.

Hi do not use sealant use hot temperature sealant, why u ask, its because these lights give off hot temperature, use head gasket sealer I e permatex sealant is ideal. Also dry out head light before fitting new balace or you will get water back into to the balace that you just replaced.
@bobgriffiths 8 ай бұрын
Good idea about the high temp sealant, I didn't have any so I just did my best with what I had to hand. the lamp was completely dry before I resealed it and fitted the ballast back, as you're right, the last thing you want to do is keep some of that pesky water in there to screw up the new ballast. thanks for the comment and take care!!

@bobgriffiths 9 ай бұрын
Hi thanks for the kind comments. If you're sending it away to a lab then you might be able to just send it away on the roll, and when you open the camera (in subdued lighting) the film should still be wrapped around the spool. There is a piece of sticky tape that you can use to lick and stick the roll shut then send it off to the lab. You could also roll it off and put it onto a normal 120 spool, but this would need to be done in the pitch black darkness. As long as you pull the film on tightly when you wrap it up, there should be no issues. Hope this helps and good luck with it. The thing I didn't realise was that there are only 8 shots on this 120 roll due to the camera model.

Thanks for info. Lucky me, I get to enjoy a second problem on my Insignia from design fault(already done the ubiquitous EGR cooler leak). Quick question, mines been suffering with the AFL error before the ballast packed up, do you know if there is anything to look for while the lamp is out (wiring etc), that might be the cause of it ? Also I'm going to seal my headlamp after drying it with some flo plast glue for plastic plumbing pipes I've got. Its watertight as I used in my recent bathroom renovation on the new drainage pipes. It might give a longer lasting seal, who knows ?
@bobgriffiths 9 ай бұрын
That floplast is good stuff, I used it on plastic conduit when I made an ED209 costume for comicon. Held it together a treat. MY AFL was complaining before the ballast went, it's likely to be water getting into the mechanism of the AFL system and removing the water and sealing it up might prevent it from coming back. The AFL issues stopped on mine after I did this sealing up. I wish you luck and hope the floplast does a good job on it. Cheers.

@bobgriffiths 9 ай бұрын
Thanks so much for the lovely comment, it's really appreciated. I develop my own B&W 120 so it doesn't matter what spool it's on, but if you need to send yours away, you could manually roll it back onto a 120 film spool (in a very dark room obviously) and then send it off. It's easier than I originally thought it might be to do this, as long as you are in a dark room or have a dark bag, and keep the film winding with some tension on it to prevent any fogging when you take it out to send it away. Hope this helps and good luck with your photos!!

In my 2010 Opel Insignia, I've already changed the ballast twice because it's filled with water and it damages my lights. The problem is that the issue keeps coming back. I don't believe that switching to a new headlight, despite spending more money, will resolve the problem. This car has many issues with water infiltrations and electronics. I think that a seal in this case around all the components of the headlight is the solution. But from what I've read, silicone is not advisable. They recommend plastic welding along the areas with air vents while performing a leak test. What do you think can be done? My mechanic has had the car since yesterday, and he's also not quite sure what to do because the solution of a new headlight is expensive for me, and buying the ballast and the light and replacing them will result in the same issue soon with water getting in. A lot of water enters the headlight, and it's not condensation; it's actual water accumulating at the bottom where the ballast is. Do you have any solutions on how to waterproof a headlight and all its components? And if it's cracked from some impact, is it possible to seal it? Thanks for the help...❤
