To change the headlight bulbs on an Opel Corsa E, open the bonnet. At the back of the headlight, there are three rubber covers (one for dipped beam, one for main beam, one for position light).

Rotate them a quarter turn to remove. Before refitting, clean them and apply some silicone or WD-40 to the rubber to keep it flexible and waterproof.

Dipped beam (H7): press the retaining tab at the bottom of the bulb holder and disconnect the connector. Remove the bulb.

Do not touch the glass with your fingers. Insert the new H7 aligning the retaining tab with the socket in the reflector.

Reconnect the connector, replace the cover, and rotate it a quarter turn to secure it. Main beam (H7): same system, with the retaining tab at the bottom. Position light (W5W): disconnect the two connectors by hand, then use a screwdriver to push out the bulb holder.

Remove the W5W bulb by pulling it out. Insert the new one (do not touch the glass), replace the bulb holder, and reconnect the connectors.
