How do you do it on the Corsa C SXI?

Theres no way I can get my hand in that small gap to tug the bulbs out of the sockets...

Do you have to undo the headlight unit via the two bolts?

Is there more than two bolts?

The user manual is wank.

Thanks

Once you've removed the cover from the back of the unit, I didn't find it too bad although you have to work in the dark a bit as you cannot see the securing clip easily. I though it was just difficult on mine as the engine bay is full on the diesel with ABS and air con as well. You could take the lamp unit out (and disturb its alignment) but I think there's another bolt at the bottom which would need you to release the bumper. If you want a challenge, the nearside one on a Corsa b with PAS is good for removing lumps from you hand!

Thanks people and thanks Munchie for that kind offer and If I had not just got the car off the garage and been charged £5 then that would have been nice..

haha the garage bloke said they're a right pain in the arse to fit. headlights weren't to bad, even though I couldn't get the spring clip to go back on lol

but the side light he said he had to tilt the light unit out to give more room behind...

oh well hopefully these brighter ones will last a good while and I won't have to change them often
