Replacing the Side Indicator Bulb

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra G - Years 1998-2006
Part: Side marker bulb

Replacing the side indicator bulb is very simple as you can remove the indicator itself from the wing without practically dismantling anything. Just press the indicator forward to retract the plastic spring tab and pull the indicator out of its housing. Then disconnect the connector attached to the bulb holder and remove the holder from the indicator by turning it anti-clockwise; extract the old bulb (T5 fitting) and insert the new one. Reverse the process for reassembly: in the video, the indicator was replaced with one that has a tinted lens.
