If one of the rear headlamp bulbs on the Opel Meriva burns out, it is advisable to replace it as soon as possible: this ensures safe travel and avoids penalties. To do this, open the boot.

On the side panel, at the back of the headlamp, you will find a cover. Once removed, unscrew the plastic screws holding the headlamp in place.

For the passenger side headlamp, you will find part of the tyre repair kit behind the cover, which needs to be removed. After unscrewing the screws, disconnect the electrical connector, apply force to the outer edge of the headlamp to pull it out, rotate it, and release the plate that holds the bulbs by acting on the retaining tabs.

Replace the burnt bulb and reassemble everything in reverse order of the steps.
