In this video, learn how to replace the main bulb of the dipped headlight on an Opel/Vauxhall Insignia: open the front bonnet, and to access the left front headlight, you need to remove the filler neck for the windscreen washer fluid. This will allow easy access to the front bulb, from which you will remove the plastic protective cover.

At this point, simply disconnect the electrical connector, rotate the bulb holder a quarter turn to the left, and extract the bulb to be replaced. Insert the new bulb into the holder, taking care not to touch it with bare hands.

Refit it by turning it to the right, reconnect the connector, replace the cover, reattach the windscreen washer filler neck, and the job is complete.
