:lol: no mate u can not just fit headlights off one car into another, (althought the last relient 3 wheeler had corsa lights ;))

basicly u need to:

take off bumper, bonnet, wings and try lights in where u want them, if anythings in the way (like radiator, horn, crash bar) u need to cut it up, reweld supports and get a smaller radiator.

fabricate some brakets for the lights, make sure they sit level, and are MOT passable in the way they shine on the road

cut wings back and then fit new light up to the wing to get the new shape, weld a new piece of metal to get the general shape of the new wing, fibreglass and filler and smooth them down 'till u get it right, now do the same for the other side

cut the bonnet back till it fits on without hitting the light, again weld on any bits u need and fibreglass the full front of the bonnet to extend it as the new lights sit further out then corsa ones, make sure the bonnet also lines up with the wings

then cut the grill off the top of your bumper and also the part where it fits round the lights, this will all need to be hand made from scratch as none of it will fit the lights, fibreglass the new shape of the grill and lights and then smooth off with filler again

respray full front end

wire the new lightrs up, split the yellow and white wires to the main beam/dipped lights and split the earth too (or run a new 1) fit new connectors as they are different from vaux ones and make sure the fuses line up with the new bulbs

there u go

hope this helps
