How to replace the bulbs in the front headlights? Lift the front bonnet of the car and remove the inspection caps at the back. Disconnect the battery terminals.

Once the cover is removed, you will find the bulbs with metal clips: pull out the bulb holders from the headlamp and extract the damaged bulbs using a screwdriver. Install the new bulbs (always the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holder into the headlamp housing.

Turn on the ignition and test the headlamp lights. Close the engine bay of the Opel Astra after maintenance.
