In this video tutorial, you will see how to remove the front headlamp of the first series Opel Insignia, whether it needs to be replaced, repaired, or, as in this case, restored after water ingress. First, disconnect the battery to work safely, then unscrew the bumper bolts located inside the wheel arch and the upper bolts of the front grille.

This will allow access to the headlamp mounting bolts, which must be removed. Finally, disconnect the connector and extract the unit from its housing.
