Replacing the headlight bulbs on the Opel Astra G must be done with the engine off. There is no need to disconnect the battery. Start by opening the bonnet and disconnecting the air intake hose, then remove the cover of the filter box and uninstall it as well.

You now have clear access to the bulb holder, which you can pull out to remove the bulb that needs replacing. Before inserting the replacement bulb, clean the area with an appropriate electrical contact spray.

Finally, reassemble the filter box and reconnect the hose.
