Before you start, open the bonnet of your Opel Astra. Begin by unscrewing and removing the screws that secure the front grille, then remove the grille itself.

Next, unclip the clips located at the lower corners of the headlamps. At this point, unscrew and remove the screws in the front wheel arches to free the ends of the bumper.

This will give you access to all the bolts securing the headlamp. Proceed to unscrew and remove these bolts, then pull out the headlamp.

Now, disconnect the rear electrical connectors, and you will have completed the disassembly. To install the new headlamp and reassemble everything, simply reverse these steps, and you will have completed the replacement.
