Evening all,

I've just gone to pick my girlfriend up from work and 2 of my bulbs have gone on the drivers side headlamp.

Can anyone tell me if all the bulbs are the same type? How much they are and where I can go to learn how to change them please?

I'm driving a 2004C Sxi CDTi

Cheers,

Connor.

The bulbs are different. I think all of the info regarding which bulbs and how to change them is in the vauxhall manual

Price wise, sorry not sure on that one :\

to change the bulbs wise, follow the below tutorial (its for fitting HIDs but all apart from drilling backing plate applys obviously)

I've just had another check - it is the bulb for the main headlight, the big one in the centre. Which bulb corresponds to this and where can I buy it from?

Also, I'm a novice to car repairs, could I realistically fix this myself if I follow the instructions or do I run the risk of breaking something else too?

Cheers,

Connor.

read the post in my first link mate, it tells you what bulb you need. Probably best going to vx for the bulb itself, guarantees you get the right one then ;)

Yes you can do it yourself, its realitively easy to do mate :thumbs:

If you dont want to do it yoyurself go to halfords and get the bulb then get them to fit it for you.

Its a H7 bulb... but from what Ive heard with facelifts changing bulbs involves dropping the bumper, which isnt all that hard just time consuming!
