Replacement of the Rear Light Bulb

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra G - Years 1998-2006
Part: Tail light bulb

To replace the bulbs of the rear lights, it is necessary to remove the entire light assembly. The screw is accessible on the side of the boot after removing the large plastic cap by prying it with a plastic tool in the designated slot. Unscrew the large retaining knobs of the light located under the cover and remove the light by disconnecting the connectors. Once the bulb holder is removed, carefully replace the faulty bulb by pressing it slightly and turning it counterclockwise until it releases. Insert the new bulb, ensuring it has the same specifications. Reposition the light assembly in its housing, connecting the relevant connector. Tighten the retaining screw carefully and replace the plastic cap.
