The Opel Astra J has two rear light clusters: the main one is located on the rear wing. Open the tailgate, locate the three clips, and remove the light cluster by pulling it outwards.

Be careful with the rubber gasket; you must remove it carefully to access the bulbs, which are push-fit. The main bulbs are bayonet type, while the smaller ones are push-fit. For reassembly, reposition the rubber gasket in the correct housing, insert the light cluster, and tighten the three clips securely.

The second cluster is located on the tailgate: open it and locate the retaining clip on the inner side of the light cluster.

Lift the white part of the clip to unlock it, remove the light, and rotate the bulb holder to remove it. To reassemble, insert the bulb holder, replace the light cluster in position, and push the white clip back into place to secure it.

Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display.
