changing headlamp on corsa

[beev1976]

call me thick but how do you get the passenger side headlamp bulb out of a vauxhall corsa 53 plate?

You're Thick!! (Sorry, couldn't resist it). Looks like as with most modern cars, its a night mare. Found this which doesn't hold out much hope.

An article in the Telegraph recently said that Halfords are having to refer owners of some modern vehicles to a main dealership for a bulb change as they can require a not inconsiderable amount of dismantling to get at the bulb(s). So you are not alone!

My car needs the whole front bumper removing to change headlamp bulbs.

As it is law to carry spare bulbs in the car at all times in France where the car comes from do drivers have to be qualified mechanics and carry all the kit to change a bulb whilst on a motorway hard shoulder in the rain and at night?

I agree Toureman, it`s becoming rediculously difficult to carry out some simple tasks, changing a cam belt for instance on some cars. Despite having worked on/restored cars for 40 odd years the jobs seem to be getting more complex & when it comes to fuel/electronic engine management/ABS systems you`re stuffed without the diagnostic computer. But this multi-make bulb replacement lark takes the biscuit!
