Shows everything but the most important bit, ie - how the bulb attaches to the housing. Easy to get the old one out. Not so easy to get the new one in.
@Scouse29K8 жыл бұрын
Is that the black bit on the back of the bulb? Just tried to do this myself and failed! He doesn't show that bit, I couldn't get the old bulb unattached from that black back piece let alone get to the point of attaching the new bulb to it.

@Mutely3129 жыл бұрын
Take care when twisting the clip, it is held in place by 2 small torx screws (T15) to be safe loosen these screws by about 1 turn each then twist the fixing clip. If not and they were tight you could break the light unit by forcing it. Then you have a bigger and more expensive job. It is easier to leave the wire connector inplace and remove it when the bulb holder/ clip is removed ( easy to see from under the bonnet) also it is easier to put the wire connector back on before you replace the bulb back into the unit. Just done the job today( before watching youtube! I had to figure it out myself) hope this info helps.

@ValMartinIreland3 жыл бұрын
Correct and right, If the Torx screws are tight it is near impossible to turn the holder in, unscrew them 1 turn only twist, fit the bulb reinstall and tighten the screws all from the engine side,

Thanks for this. Can I add a few points. Some people have said that they have had difficulty getting the old bulb from the holder, just push a small flat head screwdriver in between the two metal pieces and lever it out. Also I had a problem getting the rubber diaphragm back on with one hand, I would say to just persist with it, after five minutes it seemed to just fit back on nicely.

Thanks for the helpful video. For those of you having a hard time putting the round rubber cover back on, I figured that it was easier putting the whole thing through the hole (hehe) and then pulling it out (EEHHEH) until it stays in place.

the pollen filter is another nuisance to get at ...........if you check out other garages ..a.t.s even vauxhall .......no air....or pollen filters are included in any interim service under £200 which is disgracefull. i changed them myself as soon as i got the car ( a 4 year old ) it still had the original filters in ...and they were as black as coal . i couldve sworn i heard the car take a deep breath when i changed them ...or maybe it was my imagination ...fuel consumtion has improved greatly 600 miles out of a fullish tank ......ah well the joys of motoring ....massive boot for the dogs with the rear seats pushed forward . thanks again

This is totally wrong and misleading done by a bluffer. You must remove the over wheel flap as shown. Next you must remove the air filter housing by unscrewing the top back screw and the jubilee clip round the plastic air intake accordion pipe. Next slacken the 2 Torx head bolts each side of the bulb 1 turn only. Have the new bulb ready and do not touch the glass. Take out old bulb and insert the new exactly the same, Refit the bulb holder and tighten the 2 torx screws. Replace everything. If you do not unscrew the Torx screws, the bulb holder will not go back in under the tight screw heads.

Whoever a GM/Holden/Vauxhall/Opel designed this method of access to the bulbs is a fucking idiot. Trying to pull the bulb out of the wired bit takes me forever every. Single. Time.
