Im giving it another go tomorrow, I was running out light t'other night and was rushing so will give it another try in the day light tomorrow :)

it's the same for me in my corsa because i have air-con etc

taking the headlight out is probably your best option - that's what i have to do

i have the same as steveocee (2.0dti)

you have to do it with finger tips rather than trying to squash ur hand up (if that makes sence)

Really? Honestly I cant get my (apparently) fat hands behind the light :lol:

? How i have no idea why you can't do that mate!

I managed to fit HID's without removing the lights. (and i got the 2ltr dti engine)

i had this issue last week, basically i undid the 2 top nuts which gave me about 10mm movment which was just enuf to get my had down and twist the holder, getting it back in was abit more of a badger but got ther ein the end :D

ShEp not sure about the layout of your GSi, the drivers one (airbox) is fine, the passenger one has all sorts of gubbins in the way thats connected to the chassis and what not, stuff that I dont know what it does.

Rich :P I know you just twist it its getting to it thats the problem

Astra's can be done piece of piss iirc you just twist it and it should pull out.

Quit your whinging about dropping the bumper - you HAVE to do it on a facelift Corsa C!

removing the front bumper wont give you anymore access to it,

remove the airbox? I managed to do mine with the airbox top off, it's just 4 clips.

as for removing the batrtery, remove the retaining bolt at the bootom of the battery then remove the two terminals and take the battery out!

Taking the bumper off it piss easy on a MK4 anyways, takes 5 mins.

Im doing things myself on this car :o Like I say, I know how to do it, I just physically cant do it :lol: Its a little frustrating, cos its such a simple job (should be)

ask halfords to do it they dnt charge much lol

As above mk4 astra passenger sidelight bulb has gone, but I cant actually get my hand in behind the light to get the old one out :boggle:

Any ideas? I am not taking the bumper off to change a fecking bulb :|
