I might be replacing both headlamps due to the ‘crazing’ of the plastic lens. It will be easier for me to take the whole number off and gain easy access to both lamps at the same time. Trying to do the job without taking the bumper off does risk you fracturing the plastic of the bumper if it is many years old. The plastic becomes more brittle with age.
Did really someone remove whole bumper to change bulb on only one side? Regarding to "without removing bumper" in title I expected some kind of magic trick or to drill hole at 0:29 where screw is behing the bumper. Removing 2/3 of bumper (one side and middle part) is almost same work as removing whole bumper. Why, just WHY is there little space behind hedalight? Changing headlight bulb is common car maintenance. At least it is not necessary to remove whole wheel as access to headlight is behind it like on some french cars.
I just spent over 1 hour unclipping the bumper and removing the headlamp. Got the headlamp back in with great difficulty while scratching parts of the bumper only to realise that I could've just pulled the bulb out without removing a thing! How does nobody know that? People questioning why Vauxhall make it so difficult to change a bulb, well they haven't with the H7 headlight bulb! Iooked on TH-cam before doing anything and saw many videos telling people the air intake, bumper etc. Need to be removed but no need!
Hello, There is a chance that you will scratch the whisk or light block in this way. However, you can easily avoid this by still using this method, but then covering the whisk (next to where you loosen the bumper) and the light block with tape. Then you won't make any scratches and you still took the easy way to get this job done.
You don't have to remove head light or bumper to replace a bulb on a Corsa D. For the right one you just disconnect the air hose tahy is comming from air intake and remove the air filter. To make it more comfortable you can unscrew a clamp between air filter box ans mass airflow sensor with a 7 mm wrench. For the left one you just take out the fuse box cover...
i have bad condensation in this drivers side dust cap seems tight. going to take off tomorrow any ideas why this is happening or what to look for when its off?

Worked like a charm on my VXR, thank you! 🎉
Perfect, Allowed me to get to the air con connector. Well done.

Thank you, got there with it in the end and saved a bit of money so much appreciated
You saved my day man! Cheers!!
Excellent tutorial thanks for posting.
I would be testing the lamps all work once connected before refitting all trim etc
Smart indeed.

This really helped me, thank you!

Corsa users don't need to remove bumbers but airfilter box is the must
Taking shortcuts in that way, is the easiest way to scrach and damage the new headlight. Removing the bumber is easy and quick mate.

hi, did you disconnected the battery before it?
No, you do not need to disconnect the battery.
How kong did it take you
Did not time it. But I think about 40 minutes
i have bad condensation in this drivers side dust cap seems tight. going to take off tomorrow any ideas why this is happening or what to look for when its off?
Maybe the gasket from the panel that you have to open to replace the bulbs. Good luck
The bumper is so easy to remove, why wouldn't you?
Because this was even more easy.
Really shit design of vehicle though when you try to do after manufactured work. Especially things like aircon and starter motors.etc.etc...
