So were talking about a Corsa C facelift? - I know old thread -

I got to say I had no problems with mine, I don't have angel eyes, and both sides of car have ample clearance for hands for all four bulbs on each side. On the drivers side you can easily remove the flexi pipe for a litle bit extra room but I don't see that it is really required.

Anyone help me out here? I have the old shape (facelift) Corsa and one of my headlight bulbs is knackered so I've been trying to change it. It's on the driver's side next to the air filter. I took the pipe off that to get better access behind the light but for the life of me I can't get that bulb out of there!

It's the 'middle' bulb that needs replacing, the dipped beam I think it's called if I'm right in thinking it goes sidelights, dipped beam, main beam.

Surely I haven't got to remove the whole light unit to change a bulb!? :mad:

Haven't got a Corsa - but I have changed headlamp bulbs and had difficulty getting to the back under the bonnet - but i found it dead easy to swing my front wheels out the way & stick my arm under the wheel arch whilst looking from the bonnet

You have to go in through an inspection hatch in the wheelarch/wing to change a bulb in my wife's old A Class.
