This is for the post 97, it took me 10 mins to do so dont let it put you off because they still look fantastic

I have a feeling you're trying to fit universal ones. In which case, good luck.
Only get Corsa specific ones i.e. that have a slanted bulb holder, like your originals. I know for a fact http://www.corsacentre.com side repeaters, if buying the Corsa ones, will fit!
