Bro u make it look soo easy. Its actually a pain to take off the old bulbs

[@mrflixxl]

How did you get it out? It feels like it’s stuck

[@shahzebsiyal9762]

You are a star mate, i was thinking tht it wont be possible to change bulb without removing the fuse box and so said the mechanic, and believe me he was charging me 30 euros for just changing the bulb.. and there i found this video, very handy and easy job. Thanks alot mate..

[@derekcoe9633]

Mate can’t thank you enough for this video, I spent two hours trying to get this effin bulb in (cut hands, temper tantrum the works), then I watched this and it was done in fifteen minutes! 👍

[@mikarajala4911]

Same problem! I spent two hours...but then I saw this! Thank you!

[@SpiriDussgaming]

30 seconds for me. After trying for 5mins and getting angry

[@cherieg-johns1650]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@willtaylor3119]

Thanks for this! This works for the Zafira B model too, no tools needed. Following this I did both bulbs in my 2011 Zafira in less than half an hour. Banging.

[@a877ths]

Halfrauds were going to charge me £25 for bulb and fitting, you saved me a packet, cheers dude

[@droge192]

Perfect for my job today! I was about to take the whole air filter box out to get to the bulb - didn't know there was this handy access via the wheel arch liner! Thanks so much.

[@biggedybiggedybong8032]

Absolute topman for posting...was jus looking at mine n thinking 'wtf'... then watched yer vid n its all easy peasy! Thanks👍👍👍

[@RobertHutanu]

Don't understand those who give negative to this video. It's a 10+ guide, the best I have find. Good work mate and many thanks! 👍

[@R4hmans]

Thank you so much

[@UrikKane]

Another thanks for the detailed vid! A few points / thoughts: - I was getting frustrated on the disconnecting part, but as he said, "just pull it out" - so I put both of my hands in there, grabbed the black plastic socket housing (where wires are attached) with thumb and index finger, and then with other hand firmly squeezed the glass part of bulb with thumb/index as well. Then pulled as hard as I could, and eventually it came apart. - when putting the entire thing back in the hole, I'm not sure it matters which direction you turn it? In the video, he says rotate left, but I ended up rotating right (clockwise) and it got in place. I don't remember which side I rotated it towards when pulling out in the first place though.

[@krispyplayz4757]

Cheers!

[@jmartin_og]

Would never have thought to have checked the wheel arch. Thanks job done

[@greengoblin144]

You, sir, have just saved me £30. Watched you, thought about it & 15 min later all sorted. Legend.

[@michaelpole7041]

Many thanks..didn't realise you could change light bulbs under the wheel arch...saved loads of time much appreciated your a star..😊😀

[@ST_LRussell]

Ages since I changed this bulb, so much easier to refit after watching this vid... (after forcefully twisting and yankin' it out!). Thanks!

[@spazmoski37]

Every car I have previously owned, changing a headlight bulb was an easy task. I would have felt a right idiot having to go and get a garage or Halfords to do this and at a cost as well. Who would have thought you have to access the bulb under the wheel arch. The designers of this must have been having a right laugh. So thank you for your time in making this instruction video. Most helpful. Cheers.

[@onedrop7817]

Thank you for this fella. I looked under the bonnet, thinking that's how it is changed...nope! So, this video is appreciated. 👊

[@davidpowley7209]

Good tutorial, we found it much harder than the video makes it look, i swear we had less space! This video helped us a lot cheers

[@R4hmans]

I’m glad this helped you, I try to make it easier so any body can do it them selfs

[@bluearmy999]

Cheers for this. Wasn’t sure how to get to bulb until I watched the vid

[@lisadanger5308]

I was trying to figure out how to change it out. Thanks for the video. Who would have ever thought to look by the blimmen tyre 😂

[@philiprhodes5537]

Just been trying to do one of mine and couldnt figure it out till i watched this and easy when you know where the access point is inside the wheel arch liner... Absolute legend you are mate a huge thank you for saving my sanity🤣👍

[@deborahbrown5528]

You have once again saved me a lot of time, just like your Astra h light switch change video, really clear and much appreciated, thank you

[@bekabeka7766]

The main part os missing, how to fix the bulb back on the place which is the most tricky thing

[@manfredklitschke2645]

This is why i like KZbin👍 Thanks man, very helpful👏

[@kwonsoonbum8377]

Thank you. I have just changed my bulbs, followed your video.

[@MrArmour]

You, sir, are a bloody legend! Thank you so much!

[@R4hmans]

Thank you

[@tuberider1171]

and here I was under the bonnet thinking I had to pull the whole light assembly out - many, many thanks

[@SpiriDussgaming]

Same. Then i remembered. " wait there is a vw where you need to look above the wheel. Then i found it.

[@tuberider1171]

@@SpiriDussgaming Thanks for posting. People like you make life easier. Cheers

[@BenDover-wu7ed]

Excellent,thanks so much for taking the time to show this 👍

[@leeneilson1613]

Fantastic work thank you mate been trying to change mine couldn't understand how to do it now I do once again thank you

[@madxico]

You´ve earned yourself a subscriber. Thanks

[@R4hmans]

Francisco Cunha thank you so much

[@punkrockaintdeadreviews6404]

You should check out rev and redlines channel mate good with all astra h stuff ....if there is sumet on video he aint done ask him he will make a video or help you out .....

[@finnbakker]

Thanks! I was going crazy trying to figure out what I had to do - and the store said there were four possible bulbs, so I'd need to bring it in. Now I can, and should be able to put a new one in, and be on the way again!

[@olivait7162]

Excellent thanks for this. I looked under the bonnet and thought, what!

[@cameronrobbins3521]

Never knew about the flap! Cheers bro top work

[@mathewwebb522]

Thanks for posting mate. Got it sorted from your vid. Really battled to put it back in because it really is playing it by feel and making sure you've got the tin tabs in the right place. Can't see anything with your hand in the little opening. Glad I found your vid though. Thanks. Gave a thumbs up

[@stewartfoot7464]

Cheers dude! I’ve been paying my garage to do this for years👍👍

[@samuellane8818]

And they always over charge you an arm and a leg rip off these garage are!.....

[@georgi6722]

i did this today, it was very helpful

[@drdeveril]

Saved me a few quid and was done in about 5 minutes per side!

[@Koraksis]

Great video mate. Helped a lot!

[@MrKeelan74]

Thanks for posting great help. 👍

[@Titan6prostreet]

Thank you it helped me alot bud!

[@herrtomov3480]

Thanks bro. Super video.

[@goalboy19]

Thx man stright to the point.

[@DBofficial125]

You're a lifesaver, but damn that little hanging panel doesn't half get in the way and you pretty much have to do all the unplugging and reconnecting via feel, as there is no room for your head or a torch lol

[@Mclaneinc]

Great video, saved me time and extra cash...You sir are a good man..Thank you!

[@stevebranney8937]

Many thanks. Also the same for a Zafira B.

[@hanceinthepants]

Brilliant. Thank you mate! I was genuinely puzzled as to how you get to the lights from under the bonnet. Warning to others: do this somewhere where you can wash your hands after and roll up your sleeves. I got totally caked in mud from the wheel arches

[@123mcgarrigle]

Tip, clean your car and you won’t have that problem lol

[@ИвайлоЙорданов-п4л]

Thank you for this tutorial. It help me a lot.

[@mohammedkahaf2428]

Thank you, I had to use a flat head to force the old one off but got there in the end

[@EjJonelis]

Great video! Thank you so much. Was so helpful

[@philholdsworth8280]

Thanks. Much appreciated.

[@kittyhawk9707]

5 mins to loosen bumper ( 2 screws and some plastic clips) (plenty of U tube videos show how easy this is) then unbolt headlight unit replace bulb ..(far easier with headlight unbolted - only 3 bolts) job sorted.

[@kookbrand8378]

You're a legend mate, thanks so much!

[@Alo338.]

Very help full bro

[@tomnicholls4717]

Thank for video boss helped a great deal after trying to do it from the top with long pliers 👌

[@silverscreenreviews8521]

Can you reach both the bulbs doing this process? Or to reach the other light do you have to take the whole light unit off??

[@amielmanik1555]

Really loving this video, i learnt something new today

[@ivanliviumarian]

it's second time I have changed bulb viewing your video. One problem that rubber cover I can't fitting. thank you

[@stewartsteinecke7301]

Well done for not showing the easy side to change unlike a load of the other videos.

[@kadoo9873]

Cheers mate, good tutorial 👍

[@ianalderson8357]

Just got an Astra H, thankfully the bulbs appear a lot easier to change than those on a Vectra C

[@huntish]

Can you show how to do side lights and his beam bulbs

[@gaborszakszon9270]

Thank you!✌️

[@13x10s]

Ha Just got me out of trouble thanks .

[@jj22max22]

Thank you so much for this video mate. Helped me big time.

[@metastatic1]

Thanks for the helpful video.

[@chrisbrookes6233]

Very handy to know this. Thank you for sharing.

[@walloo1]

Thanks , I will try it tomorrow on my Zafira b.

[@jimbodeano933]

Thank you man this worked for me👍😊

[@wilczyk582]

Thx for video like that

[@Mitul88]

Thank you, really enjoy watching you astra videos, I have the same 3 door Astra. Question: my sidelights are very dim, how do I get access to them? And which sidelights do you have? I'm liking the blue colour?! Thanks for your great videos!

[@R4hmans]

Mitul88 you should be able to change the side lights from opening your bonnet and getting to the lights that way, it’s a led Philips blue bulb 501

[@u.kairrifleshuntingtargeta9438]

thnks mrs using this vid now. Good job fella

[@MitchIF1203]

You can get to them from the bonnet, but I found they were tricky to access because there is very limited space. For driver's side, I removed the air box to get to them; for the passenger's side, I took off the battery and unbolted the battery tray - both of these took no longer than about 10 minutes to get off. Upgraded the sidelights to 501 LED bulbs and they look great! You'll probably need CANBUS compatible bulbs (CANBUS error-free) to make sure they work properly.

[@keithw1119]

Useful pointers as to where the access is but it was really fiddly. I finally jacked up the car and removed the wheel. SO SO SO much easier in the end. The extra 5 minutes to take the wheel off is well worth the bother.

[@RockinRedRover]

Thanks for the help - I've been changing car headlamp bulbs for 40 years, including early model Astras which were MUCH easier than this was. And I have long thin arms n fingers... Not helped that many web pages get confused as to which is the full/main beam bulb (H1, also a sod to access esp the airbox side and it's illogical spring clip), and this dip beam H7 bulb. I'm a mechanical designer, and this design is poor. Annoyingly the access hatch is attached to the car on a short leash and fights to get in the way. Similarly the job would be SO much easier if the bulb had a slightly longer wiring loom, as it can be VERY tight to pull the bulb from the holder, especially with fear of breaking the bulb glass and leaving the rest behind.. I prefer to use a flat screwdriver to gently prise the bulb away from the socket holder, itself not easy as the holder is made of thin polished tin just like the bulb's own base, hard to tell by eye, nevermind by feel. No wonder the car handbook has such poor pictures which ignore all the access obstructions (and itself get's confused twixt main and dip beam bulb locations !). It also doesn't specify which bulb type to fit !! - GM obviously want you to pay a dealer to do what should be a simple task. It might even be easier in the long run to remove the whole headlamp assembly to ease bulb replacement if more than one bulb to change ?. So thanks again sir !

[@Nikndlif]

Thanks mate👍

[@alanphillips8089]

Thanks for that mate great help

[@Alo338.]

Thank you helpful ❤

[@truthbetold818]

Very good video, but when he says just pull the light out, sometimes it may feel really stiff to the point where you feel it isn't moving...continue and persist by wiggling it back and forth, it will eventually will pop out.

[@mindaugasjuska]

Make sure you turn off and turn on engine after replacement. If you put light bulb while it's running, it will not work. You need to restart the system.

[@jamesmol3634]

Thank fuck you made that comment it saved me

[@iisakvirma2905]

Thank you!

[@justinrobertsendoftheage]

Very helpful

Awesome 👌

[@SgtAxxE]

Thank you a lot

[@davidecaregari1549]

Thanks,very useful!

[@newsgetsold]

Put in a working bulb but it seems to have no power. Any ideas?

[@kelanjames2645]

Thanks, helped me a lot! Subscribed.

[@alphacat7353]

I'm in the process of doing this but the bulb is so hard to pull out of the socket it's connected to, any advice? Precisely at 3.31 Any advice on pulling out the stiff bulb?

[@RobertTaylorShimshams]

Big Boss old bulb came out easily with a fair bit of pulling and wiggling....new bulb was a g#t to fit, wouldn't fit ....then just slid in no prob...go figure....

[@josephwragg8834]

Thanks a million! Perfect.

[@afkturtlechicken2333]

Cheers fella for the video.

[@peterlewis8040]

Much appreciated , thank you.

[@d4ve587]

Is it the same for the astra van?

[@djboycot]

Great. Video Thanks!

[@HALiiiiiii]

شكرا 😊

[@5implesimon]

thanks man worked a treat

[@ValMartinIreland]

They are designed to be changed from the engine compartment, It is impossible to get some of them in without unscrewing the 2 torx screws one turn. Best remove the air filter and work from the engine compartment with no wriggling.

[@docsavage101]

Thanks you so much for this I subscribed cheers

[@jive091]

Very good viewing thanks

[@goodlife1556]

Thanks bruh, I was struggling as on my 2006 S klasse I could just do it from the top when you pop the hood. But on my 07 astra there was no space

[@johnq1532]

Top vid..thank you very much.!

[@TheDave000]

Thanks mate. It's great living in an age were videos like this exist!

[@ayadhuraisrikaran9205]
