How to Remove the Front Headlight of an Opel Zafira

Part: Headlight

Let's see how to remove the front headlight of an Opel Astra. Open the bonnet by pulling the bonnet release lever and secure it. Unscrew the fastening bolts of the central (front) grille, then remove the front headlight. Remove the bolts on the headlight bar with a socket wrench. At this point, you will find more bolts at the bottom of the headlight; unscrew them from the metal plates. Disconnect the bulb holders from the headlight and extract the headlight from the vehicle body. Install the new headlight with new bulbs if damaged (always of the correct type and size) and insert the headlight into its housing. Finally, tighten the headlight bolts with the socket wrench.
