I'm a 1st time car owner (Vauxhall Insignia), and I only just passed my test a few months ago and I'm also of the female variety but despite all this and thanks to your video , I just changed my own DRL bulb! chuffed to bits! Very informative and empowering video! thank you ever so much for such simple yet concise instruction! Very much appreciated! 😁😊
Are the dipped lights the same as the daytime running lights? when I have my dipped lights on they are both fine but when I turn it into auto, only the passenger side bulb works, any ideas?
Rule 1....Dont touch the bulb with your fingers, as they will deposit grease onto the glass. Always use something to hold it (Paper or something) or clean the bulb thoroughly with some degreaser after installing. Other than that, great video.
I have ordered a new bulbholder as the original just didn't hold the bulb tight - and I suspect that one of the contacts was a bit burned. Need to get the bulbs out that had previously fallen out. Wondering about a dab of silicon sealant to help retain the bulb when I get the new holder. Shocking design and aweful bulbs.
@@aaanton11 I think I need to encourage the contacts in the headlamp shell. Got the bulbs removed from the headlamp when it went in for some bodywork that required the front bumper off.
I now have two daytime running bulbs rattleing around in the headlamp shell. The bulbs seem a lousy fit. Should I get a new holder - after I have shaken the bulbs out. They seem too happy to fit any way round.
@@aaanton11 One on order. The bulbs dont seem to be obviously "polarised". Dreadful things. May put a dab of silicone on to endure it stays in the holder. Do you know how to visually check they are the right way in - relative to the tab on the holder?
Hi mate, just bought a corsa sxi 1.2 Cdti that’s had a bump at the front, now when headlights are off the indicator is working (slight flash of drl light at same time) but with headlights on it makes all bulbs flash although dim... would it be a bad earth/damaged wires or would it be as simple as the drl bulb blown? It’s so difficult to get to, was hoping for a quick bodge for now as I’m going to replace the headlight unit at some point anyway. Thanks 👍🏼
At 1:56 what is this part called? The bolt and washer with the plastic piece that attaches to the headlight is missing on my Corsa. Need to get the parts. Thanks.
Why do they make replacing car bulbs so ridiculously difficult to even get a hold of… I mean I can even get my fingers in there to remove the bulb housing
Please which other lights turns on at the back of the opel corsa D 2008 when the daylight is on? My daylight goes on with the back Plat number light and one other red light at the back. Could someone please help me to know if it's normal?
