Changing the headlight from a Opel Corsa D, without removing the bumper

Thank you, got there with it in the end and saved a bit of money so much appreciated

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.

Perfect, Allowed me to get to the air con connector. Well done.

I would be testing the lamps all work once connected before refitting all trim etc

Worked like a charm on my VXR, thank you! 🎉

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 YouTube before doing anything and saw many videos telling people the air intake, bumper etc. Need to be removed but no need!

Dzięki dzięki już zmieniłem. Jestem królem

super bien expliquer merci ! Ne faut t il pas le régler après ?

Taking shortcuts in that way, is the easiest way to scrach and damage the new headlight. Removing the bumber is easy and quick mate.

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...

hi, did you disconnected the battery before it?

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 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?

The bumper is so easy to remove, why wouldn't you?

Really shit design of vehicle though when you try to do after manufactured work. Especially things like aircon and starter motors.etc.etc...
