Let's see how to proceed with removing the bulbs from the headlight on an Opel Astra. Open the engine bonnet by pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard and secure it. To replace the bulbs in the left headlight, remove the extension tube from the windscreen washer reservoir and the fuse box cover.

Locate the inspection cover of the headlight (located at the rear of the headlight) and remove it. At this point, you will find the bulbs with metal clips; pull the bulb holders out of the headlight and extract the damaged bulb using a screwdriver. Fit the new bulb (always the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holder into the headlight housing.

Finally, close the headlight with the inspection cover and refit the ventilation kit. Use the operations performed earlier. Test the correct operation of the lights.
