Let's see how to remove the front headlamp from an Opel Astra. Open the bonnet by pulling the bonnet release lever and secure it; remove the bumper (unscrew the fastening screws).

Unscrew the securing bolts on the headlamp bracket with a socket spanner. At this point, you will find more bolts at the bottom of the headlamp, unscrew them from the headlamp plastics.

Disconnect the bulb holders from the headlamp and extract the headlamp from the vehicle body. Fit the new headlamp with new bulbs if damaged (always ensure the type and size are correct) and insert the headlamp into its housing.

Finally, tighten the headlamp bolts with the socket spanner. Test the correct operation of the bulbs.
