wisdom Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 Please could I ask the power of pigeon watch the following. Is it possible to change the low beam nearside bulb on a 2012 petrol corsa.Or do you have to dismantle the car.My sons headlight has failed and I can get to the bulb but cannot get my hand in. You tube seems to be saying its bumper and grill off many thanks in anticipation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strimmer_13 Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 I feel the pain. The fabia is the same, I had to get my neighbour with his tiny hands to help and even then I had to take half the plastics off. ******* modern cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTaylor91 Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 Used to have that model of corsa. Which side is it on? If it’s on the offside remove the air box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith RW Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 purchase bulb at Halford's, pay three times as much as a cheap one and they also offer a fitting service, but gets the job done unless you have a spare day to torment yourself trying,had same issue with MK2 Megane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royboy Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 You can just get your hand in to do it, remove the fuse box cover I think, then the bulb cover and the bulb just flicks out, I always found it easier to keeping the plug connected to the bulb worked easier. Make sure you put it in the same way it come out or else the beam pattern will be wrong for MOT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dasher Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 My Astra had 4 side light bulbs rolling around in each side light because when removing the bulb holder it would pop the bulbs off before clearing the light unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ph5172 Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 I had a similar issue with a VW. A call to them produced a fully fitted quote about £6 more than buying a bulb separately so off it went to let them do it. can you have a look at the wheel arch liner to see if you can remove that and get up easier that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
