I was starting to change the front lights on my wife's car until I found the nightmare and I had to quit. I thought I was going to take 10 minutes when I realised I needed a toolbox and a lot of patience. The engineer who created this system should be in prison. Thank you for the detailed guide, I had to save it here for when I do it. Still a task head. I believe that even my 4 year old daughter can't fit her hand to change it as it says in the manual and tearing half a car to change a light it's just crazy. Back lights are easy tho.

If u think that who projected the bulbs light place, in consideration of its uncomfortable position, needs to go to jail, go and check how to replace the rear speakers in the 3- door version... a wrong screw to replace might make you head to dismantle the whole car!!

I have an 08 Corsa. Exactly the same issue with access to the back of the headlamp units. Started removing the unit and then decided to check YT just in case I'd missed something obvious. Found your vid. So it looks as if I do have to remove the entire headlight housing. As you say, Vauxhall evidently want to make it as difficult as possible for owners to do a basic bulb change! Thank you for making a very helpful walk through. Cheers 😎👍

You have to remove the headlight to change the build. On some models variants with a different fuse box you can just about get to the bulb. Otherwise it is necessary take the headlight out.

Your passive aggressive comments about the user's manual and the basic design which requires one to dismantle so much of the Car in order to change a simple headlight we're certainly much kinder than the thoughts going through my Grad AS I was doing it!! Thanks so very much for a well done and helpful Video. Saved me much time and grief.

Thanks. I have worked in and managed design teams all my life and I have seen how designers brush ignore issues. This one certainly caught them with their trousers down to the extent that they couldn't bear to write the truth in the user manual. The service manager at the local Vauxhall dealer just shrugged his shoulders when I asked him about it. He said 'there are a few models that have the same problem' . On my Volvo you pull up a slide lock and the headlight module comes out. No tools required.

Thanks for the help with this. Having previously been able to contort my fingers into position just enough to change the bulbs in the past, I eventually needed to do this the long way (with the help of your video) - the bulb connectors both broke off leaving me no choice but to strip down. In my reassembly, I decided to leave off the hidden screw/bolt - I don't believe it's necessary. I also greased the pressure springs that retain the bulb and also fitted a small pull strap to the new bulb (using a bit of garden wire, a 1 mm drill and a bit of earth sheathing). So hopefully I won't need the full strip down again, and if I need to take out the headlamp, only the visible screws to be removed :) . Many thanks again for the insights

Hi Michael, it is bad how fragile the inner parts of the headlamp are. I keep getting daft comments from Corsa owners with different under bonnet configuration reckoning that they had no problem changing the bulb without headlight removal with itty bitty fingers. Good to hear confirmation. Cheers.

I just watched this today, and was dreading doing it, because changing a bulb should not be this hard. Cold dark and stormy here, forced me to find an easier way. Opened the bulb cover, and without removing the wire block, I just pulled the whole bulb out in one go, it is very awkward, and you need to be a contortionist, or left handed. Once out remove bulb from wire block, and replace with new one and shove straight back in. Took me 2 minutes. I had difficulty getting the back cover, back in place, but all good now. Thanks for all info anyway.

As you say Corsa not built for maintainability at all. Vauxhall try testing your publications! Halfords and places must be rubbing their hands together offering fitting with cars like this and then charging labour for bumper removal. Incidentally, cant believe the French still require you to carry a set of bulbs as well. As if your going to do that at the side of the road.

The person who designed it this way must have been on shrooms or something. First we tried doing the replacement normally under the hood - impossible, we're not contortionists. Then we figured oh, the headlight assembly must come off, no biggie right? We removed the visible bolts and the assembly would rattle around but budge - so we wondered there must be a hidden bolt somewhere. Then we found your video and realized the work still ahead of us and just drove the car off a cliff. The engineer who came up with this crap should be forced to replace headlights on these for eternity. I pity the fools working at the Vauxhall dealership. Good god. Anyway, thanks for the video!

We have C30 volvo and it takes just a minute to change the bulb. Mind you H7 bulbs fail a lot. I bought Philips so called 'long life' H7s that just lasted six months. When one fails I change both as they don't last. The old fashioned 60W twin filament bulbs in my Range rover 2001 last many,many years proving what my dad used to say that the old stuff is much better than the new rubbish. Angry over-driven, low life expectancy crappo.

Just tried the instructions, worked a dream. Doesnt alter the fact that in Germany this is NOT something that can be done by the roadside - it needs a decent tool kit and a decent light. In most certainly is possible to redesign the lamp to not require this - I will get one from a scrapyard and do so to prove a point.

Great idea. I don't know what they were thinking...

Thats redesign would be awesome just share it in thingerverse as a file or directly mail it to Opel to showmthem how poor the current one is

@@kitecattestecke2303 When I asked the local Vauxhall dealer's service manager about it he just shrugged his shoulders and said there are a few things in the user manuals that can't be done the way they show it. He then said he thought it wasn't a problem as the bulbs last about 5 years and the car would be out of warranty by then. An illuminating answer. I then said 'but bulbs aren't covered under warranty anyway' but he didn't seem aware that I had shot his fox. Not the quickest of thinkers!!

Thanks. I agree. I kept asking myself if I was being a fool but the local Vauxhall dealer confirmed it was a headlight out job. Some claim it can be done but they are confused as they have a different variant of the car with more space.

Glad it helped! In the comments some say that it is possible to change the bulb in the traditional way but they have a different under bonnet layout to the problem Corsa. It is a very ODD thing. Overall we have been very happy with the corsa - at 70K miles we haven't had any problems with it. Some minor bodywork modification has been done by my daughter by brushing up against parked cars apart from that it still drives like new..

Sweet video but i managed to do mine today without removing/unscrewing anything. The flap/cover for the headlamp can be removed and makes it much easier to reach inside and access the bulb. A bit fiddly still but manageable. :)

No it can't. You have a different arrangement under your bonnet or you are talking about the wrong side.

Thank you for a very helpful video! But even with the guide it took two of us more than an hour. The final bolt is a nightmare to get at. If anyone from Vauxhall happens to read this please move stuff around in future!

It is disappointing how little they expect the owner to do. Fuses are hidden away under components in engine compartments. I helped a friend fix the fuse on his reversing lights on a new Citroen van the other day - It took us an hour to find the fuse compartment and another 20 minutes removing stuff so we could get to it.
