Replacing a headlight bulb - Vauxhall Vectra

Liverbird

Can somebody please tell me the easiest way to replace a main headlight bulb on a Vauxhall Vectra (N reg)

Take it to Halfords and pay them a fiver to fit it.

The EASIEST way is to smash the front glass with a hammer and reach in and change the bulb...

Or Halfords as mentioned...

tomstickland

Cheapest way is to buy a bulb and spend 5 minutes fitting it.

open the bonnet,look behind the light,there will be a rubber cover or a platic cover wityh clips,remove this and remove the bulb,find out the type,h4,h7,h1 etc.. put it back in,go and get the correct bulb and fit it.

Keith

Phone AA, watch man get bulb from van and fit it there and then.

Pay about £8 per bulb :O Not the cheapest way but the easiest in an emergency

Hmm - will Halfords do any bulb for a fiver? On my stilo (Pax side) it is at least 30 mins labour everywhere I have tried

it will be a minimum charge of half an hours labour.

You should try the first gen alfa 166 with xenon lights they were £600 when new as the entire light had to be changed......its different now thank goodness.

Oh yes, Xenon lights can be very expensive.
