Good useful video, A TIP FOR THE FUSEBOX SIDE (Passenger side UK).....put a piece of string thru the loop in the wire and while squeezing lugs together with one hand, gently pull on the string to release the holder from the headlamp, worked for me

PRO TIP!!!! Attach a cable tie to the wire on the back of the bulb, put a ring spanner under the bottom plastic tab and lean it away from you to pull it up up with the cable tie around your middle or 3rd finger. Push the top tab down with the 1st finger your other other hand and gently wiggle and pull while holding your breath and crossing every appendage of your body!🤣

Good video. These DRL burn out due to them being on all of the time. I'm on my 3rd set and the car is not even 6 year old. I have found you only need a pozi screw driver to do this job, take the fuse box lid to get into the passenger side drl but the drivers side you don't actually need disconnect the hose from the airbox cover, just undo the screws and connector then move to the side. To get them off i found it easier to squeeze my thumb and finger in to try and close the tabs then pull on the wire with my little finger

Just changed mine to leds, a lot easier on the astra gtc vxr 2014, no retaining clips, the bulb holder just unscrews a quarter of a turn then pulls out. Also no need to remove airbox cover but on the near side just remove the fusebox cover, took less than 10 minutes to do both, looks amazing now with bright leds.. Good video by the way.. :- )

Hi - can you please tell me which LED's you changed to and it is just replace the old bulbs and all works or is there more too it than just changing the bulbs? My passenger light has gone and so need to replace it and thought LED would be better - are you happy with the LED ? Thank you

Just done mine now and what I done was push one pin in, gently pull / tension on the wire and then done the other metal tab and same again, took about 2 or 3 goes with gentle tension and then it worked. I was farting around with trying them both together and with a screwdriver at first and it was useless, this was the passenger one as well!

The tabs actually broke on me when I used a pair of pliers ( gently!), But as long as you secure bulb and cap after seems fine.

Thanks for the video. Just managed to change my near side drl bulb without having to remove the bumper. Mine only had one clip on it for the benefit of others. The bulb is a 580 or sometimes referred to as T20. Euro Car parts have then £2.40 each for a Lucas brand bulbs.

@stevenquinn4974 7 жыл бұрын

update, I have managed to change the light but only after breaking one of the retaining lugs on the light fitting... I have refitted it with only 1 lug holding it, seems ok for now but time will tell. The problem with the passenger side is that you can move both lugs inwards but you cannot get any purchase to pull the light out..... is there a tool that could make it easier?

@SuperGonzo1985 4 жыл бұрын

I have done the same on passenger side and still can’t get it out pain in the ass

@CaptSlog 3 жыл бұрын

The "tool" you mention is the one who designed this fitment in the first place. It's absolutely moronic that it's nearly easier to strip the front of the car and remove the headlight cluster! I too broke off the lugs that hold the passenger side lamp. I found it makes very little difference, I just stuff it all back and it seems to hold in with the cover.
