CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!! Very good video!! Changed my headlights with ease!!

[@courtfarm1]

Did you have any trouble changing your headlights? i have an Astra H, and need to fit new headlights.

[@Ld_ashley]

Philip Watts no problem at all, just follow the steps, be sure to remove the clips with ease try not to snap anything, easy mate give it a go

[@courtfarm1]

Ok thanks.

[@sinato]

Hi, i'm going to remove my headlight this weekend and seeing as you recently followed these steps did you disconnect the battery at all when you did it? It's something not explained in this video so I just wanted some clarity if you did this or not?

[@Ld_ashley]

Stuart Mitchell hi, no didn't disconnect battery, cheers

thx for this nice video.the part that really sucks about opel is that you need to take all the front out just for 2 stupid lights pfff why did they make it that difficult opel lol but again the video is so nice haha thx for that

[@andriidemianov1153]

Давно искал подобное видео! Молодцы! Всё четко и детально описано!

[@opelpedia]

спасибо // Thank you!

[@TheMarco94]

Great tutorial. Thank you. Is there any chance you guys will maybe post video about how to place day driving lights and get them working?

[@morandi2more]

Teoretic you need a + afther ignition to power the dayline. You can use in the most simple case the lighter circuit.

[@axabax6232]

Excellent video guys, thanks

Thanks guys. Just replaced them Today

Hello, From where did you get the headlights? My car is RHD and i can only find from LHD.

[@stephanmeyer5946]

Very good Video. Thanks a lot for information and installing new light form.

[@dman8966]

Sind wirklich tolle Scheinwerfer man muss nur wissen, wenn man die innere Birne wechseln möchte, muss man den gesamten Scheinwerfer ausbauen.

[@philsugrue]

Excellent tutorial, thank you

[@opelpedia]

+garzo91 No, you cannot! this headlights are design to be used with D2S xenon bulbs.

[@nikolaimanev5735]

Hello Opelpedia, Congrats for handy videos, which you are creating! What type of bulbs do you use in this specific project? 35W and 5000 K maybe? Regards,

[@opelpedia]

+Nikolai Manev Yes, Osram D2S 35W 5000K

[@nikolaimanev5735]

+opelpedia Okay, I've ordered headlights and they should arrive next tuesday. In the meantime I will look for appropriate xenon kit. For high beam I'm planning to choose Osram Nightbreaker.

[@opelpedia]

+Nikolai Manev good choice, Osram Nightbreaker are one of the best and also our favourite bulb for high beam.

[@nikolaimanev5735]

+opelpedia One more question. Solution for highbeam is Nightbreaker. Regarding lowbeam, normally halogen lights are 55W, if I put 35W I believe that checkcontrol will report a problem. I found kit which is D2S 55W 5000K. This is also proper solution, isn't it? Regards, Nikolay

[@opelpedia]

+Nikolai Manev you can also use D2S 55W 5000K, in case they will start blinking you will need to add a cheater. we will discuss this matter if the necessity arise

[@CasSpell]

Very cool video! But i had a hard time understanding what you said about the single red wire that you twisted onto a another cable 🤔 Was that a ground wire that you cut off from the harnes on the new xenon light?

[@oobeedoobenubi]

I bought a set of Opel Astra h lights from eBay for my Saturn Astra (USA). The high/low is a bit different so it took some rewiring. My problem now is that the xenon's will not work. The relay chatters for a few seconds and then cuts out. Any ideas?

[@Phen0mable]

Very handy video. Thanks chaps

[@opelpedia]

We are glad that we could help! and also don't to forget to subscribe, like and share our video if you found it useful. Thank you!

[@valleysman1234]

hi there can you tell me if there is 4 plugs, in which you pull the middle down from washer anywhere around the bottom grill under the number plate as i have got a guide and it shows this but nothing in your video, the guide that i have is for a astra h and your video explains everything so much better than the guide just a bit confused many thanks for any help.

Multumim!

[@burns985]

Hello - please tell me are these headlights better than the normal Astra headlights with loops? Im talking about the brightnes effect and road safety, not about the looks. Thanks a lot !

[@MrDavemichael]

Hello Opelpedia, on the shop where we can buy it, said that this is not suitable with AFL cornering xenon lights, so I have question:) Is there a way to put this on the car with cornering lights? its not full suitable for cars with afl? different connections or what?:)

[@opelpedia]

The headlight in this video are not designed for AFL they move just up and down. for AFL you nead headlight that move side to side also..

[@swamswam6860]

[@curtdbrittain8466]

Did anyone notice the car was blue throughout the video but at the end video of the driving was white

[@gabber01]

No, because that is only because of the color shift on the hood thanks to the exterior lighting.

[@igorkick2bit199]

Fake

[@mayk5623]

Great job guys.. Is it the same on astra 2007 OPC? I will also replace my lamps.

[@opelpedia]

+tali ban some of the clips on the grille may differ but mostly it will be the same

[@mayk5623]

+opelpedia thanks a lot :-)

[@domcobob]

Nice 🙂 I know where theese headlights are from...They are from eBay ... I wanted them, too. But in the announcement was written that they wouldn't fit on a car with halogen. It had to be a car with Xenon. Probably because in germany you also need those headlight washer, if you drive a car with Xenon (which I don't have). Do you have them?

[@ralfschmid4179]

Domco Bob gut möglich. Will mir auch welche holn wenn ich wieder Geld hab 😂

[@JoshuaMathewz]

Can I install the xenon kit H7 35W with the original lights? You have replaced the original lights for the angle eyes with the D2s xenon bulbs. Can you also make tutorials for replacing fog bulbs with LED and the signal lights and the backlights with LED?

Can i ask you, if i wanna do it on my car, what i need to buy ? headlights, xenon bulbs (D2S) and what next ? if i can use HID sad on that so i buy it (there are all what you need), but there is only D2S bulbs possible right? so all i need? Thank you for answer.

[@MadManAlex]

you can use these headlights only with the original xenon d2s or with aftermarket d2s xenon and do the wiring as in the video.

How to change the small led bulb in the rearview mirror

[@MohammedAli-gh4op]

Hi where did you buy these from because of mixed description of item and info from seller I asked if they were for rhd he stated no only for lhd. Also my car has no ballasts as it is halogen do u need to add ballasts. There is a site mars performance in Australia and there description and illustration picture is on a rhd vehicle so I'm confused will they work on a original halogen fitted vehicle do as described in video and will I be good to go

[@opelpedia]

the one in the video are for LHD, and will work with after-market ballasts with the modification shown in the video

Din cate am inteles n-am voie sa-mi pun faruri cu xenon daca spoilerul fata nu este echipat cu spritere pentru curatare. E adevarat ? In cazul asta nu cred ca ar mai avea rost sa le modific.

[@opelpedia]

+XfStef Doar daca iesi cu masina din tara.

[@XfStef]

opelpedia Pai exact asta am nevoie sa fac :( M-am decis insa sa incerc becuri LED, aparent le poti instala fara sa trebuiasca sa faci modificari.

[@opelpedia]

+Florian MeeRkAt Hello, the song is teknoaxe - Midnight Run and yes the car was imported from Germany

[@FurzfliegeHD]

+opelpedia thanks for the Info! the sold our Astra H Caravan with the 1.7 CDTI engine. It has 243000km,maybe it will exportet too. Now we have an Astra J Sports Tourer again with the 1.7 CDTI. Do you make astra j videos in the future too? you make great videos, they are really interessting. is opel often driven in romania? greetings from germany

[@opelpedia]

+Florian MeeRkAt Opel represents 12% of all the cars on the road, surpassed only by Volkswagen. Regarding Astra J i do not know for the moment, if the opportunity to make some videos will present itself be sure that we will.

[@FurzfliegeHD]

+opelpedia opel is surpassed by vw in germany too... like mostly everything surpassed by the VolkswagenAG

[@opelpedia]

+Florian MeeRkAt After the fiasco with the 2.0 TDI no wonder... don't get me wrong i like VW but that was really disrespectful towards customers

Hello, I bought the same optical blocks except that the conectic behind the block is a halogen conectic, I mounted H9 LEDs in the block because they are H9 which goes up on it. The low beams work perfectly, but the high beams come on 4 to 5 seconds then go out, someone can help me please. The LEDs are fitted with CAN-BUS modules.

[@ReeceD2011]

I had this problem with LEDs. I contacted the manufacturer of the bulbs and they sent out decoders to stop it from happening

ba da dar imi dadea eroare la peste 3000. cand normal intra turbina, ma rog numai am acel opel care imi face probleme, as vrea sa iau altu dar mie frica ca o sa am aceeasi problema plus ca are consumul f mic motor de 1.7 101cv :D undeva la 6;5 in oras si 5 in afara

[@lucaslusio1191]

si mie mi se parea puturoasa si am fost la mecanic mi-a curatat galeria de admisie si tuburile alea apoi mi-a updatat la zi softul si acum merge uns. nu mai scoate fum la accelerari bruste si nici zgomotul de golf 4...

[@baadrobo]

cezar ionut Din cate stiu eu , la un motor diesel ( Tu ai 1.7 CDTI - 101 cp ) turbina functioneaza permanent , nu e ca la benzina !! Cand turbina nu iti functioneaza ( cum am patit eu ) abia urca in ture si la 2000 moare ( problema cu electrovalva turbo ) Ai grija sa nu ai tija rupta la galeria de admisie , desfa capacul motorului si uita-te sa vezi daca iti deschide clapetele cand o turezi . Daca nu , inseamna ca ai tija rupta = alta galerie de admisie ( NEAPARAT NOUA ) , te va duce in jur de 950 lei de la Pierburg sau 1500 lei GM ( iti recomand Pierburg , sunt amandoua la fel , difera marca ) + 300-350 Lei schimbarea la un service :D
