Might have to end up doing that, got one clip in on each side properly but doesnt feel like the others are in properly, it's holding for the moment so ill have a proper look at the weekend.

Cheers for all your help guys :thumbs:

It's the first difficult lesson you learn when owning a C :lol:

Bin the standard bulbs and get yourself some HIDs in there whilst you're at it ;)

But yes, bumper off each time :lol:

Time to drop the bumper! Manual claims you can do it without doing so, but they expect you to be a contortionist with tiny limbs.

Check this guide here to drop the bumper: http://corsa-c.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=2 (need to be a member on CC|UK)

Takes a while the first time you do it, but after that you get used to it. I can drop the bumper in about 3 mins now :lol:

Once the bumpers off, remove the 3 bolts holding the light in, unplug it from the car and everything will become clear :)

Does anyone know how to change a headlight bulb on a facelift Corsa C? Cannot get the bulb out for shiz.

And can't find a tutorial anywhere, and in the bloody handbook it says to take to a dealer :rolleyes:

Cheers
