Hi, 

Does anyone know what replacement bulb is needed please for a right low beam failure message on a [Feb 2011] Vauxhall Meriva 'B' 1.7 CDTi  model?

...and any tips on how to fit it! I don't fancy paying Halfords £8 for the privilege - but they currently have 10% off bulbs today online if I order and collect tomorrow - but I can't seem to find any fitting diagrams / videos.

Thanks :)

    Doesn't your owner's manual specify the part numbers for consumables such as bulbs?

    Can't you put your reg no. into the Halfords site? Fitting - that's what you pay the money for, someone who knows how to do it. And watching someone else taking skin off their knuckles is better than doing it yourself!
    Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.

    Absolutely nothing. Just these diagrams. Guessing I'm looking at low beam (1).

    Ha ha!

    Seems to be these H7 bulbs:





    Or these (but obviously have to change both old bulbs at the same time for these new brighter ones), I'm not confident changing both sides as read you have to remove something on the left hand side under bonnet to access left side "hole").



    And Halfords charge you £8 per bulb, so £16 on fitting :(


    .


  • Tip. When you change them avoid touching the glass bulb directly with your fingers. Use cotton gloves if poss, or a tissue / kitchen roll etc. 
  • Now the left one has gone! :(
