I have had enough...after failing to get my bulb out I resorted to punching the car headlight unit as hard as I can for 20 seconds breaking the light and cutting myhand open in multiple places...thankyou vauxhall... absolute wankers!
@@verzeda Not that I know of mate but IMO everyone has something these days you can't have a bad day without being depressed you can't have a overwhelming experience without having anxiety and you can't get overly angry without having autism.
I have got bulbs in and out of cars in similar tight spaces in other cars. What makes it really hard to do on this car is that the force required to remove and replace the bulb in its seat is quite a lot. So you don't really know if you're doing it right or not. Ion the mk4 golf there's no force required. The bulb juat sits in its position and you clamp it down with a small.metal clamp. The corsa d is friction fit and requires considerable force.
Honestly you don't even need to take off the fuse box lid or remove air filter for the other side. You can take the metal catch off and then the plastic cover without removing anything, the driver side is easy enough to take out the bulb, the passenger side has less room and is a bit more fiddly, but you can change both bulbs without removing any parts at all apart from the metal clips and the light covers. It's a bit more fiddly getting them back on but can be done. Did them both myself today. Didn't have to remove any parts at all, opened the bonnet, took metal clips and covers off, changed bulbs then fiddled for about 10 minutes getting the covers back on lol
Can’t get the back cover on the light back on then I dropped my sockets down the engine piss wet through and then fell over on the grass not a good day for me
Absolutely no need to remove any headlamps. Just simply remove the fuse box cover and screen wash filler neck then rotate the metal clip. Remove the plastic cover and reach in with left hand and pull the bulb/connecter out. Disconnect the bulb and replace. 10 min job.
The bulb connects to the holder which is on a wire several inches long so no issues regardless of hand size. If you’re trying to push the bulb into the rear light assembly without it being connected to the wired connector then that’s where you are going wrong.
Not that it was needed at all , but how the fk did you manage to feed a tiny piece of wire through a tiny hole on the bulb terminal prong as good as blindfolded ?? Mine just fell out as soon as I touched it .
More and more terrible designs in cars the last couple of decades. Looks like they employ monkeys in their design departments. Also in this particular case it's less time consuming to remove the unit. Also try changing a horn in a Toyota hahahaha. Have to dismantle half the front end. Welcome to the era of efficient tin can design.
It is on an Opel Corsa but it's passenger side on a Vauxhall Corsa like the one in the video. A Vauxhall Corsa is a rebadged right hand drive Opel Corsa
