Bulb Replacement; Halogen Headlight System - Vauxhall ASTRA Owner's Manual

268 Self-help

Bulb replacement

Before replacing a bulb, switch ignition off
and switch relevant switch off.
Only hold new bulb at base! Do not touch
the bulb glass with bare hands, otherwise
fingerprints on the glass evaporate.
Residue builds up on the reflector
eventually resulting in a dull reflector.
Inadvertently stained bulbs may be
cleaned with a clean non-fluffy cloth, using
alcohol or white spirits.
Replacement bulb must be in accordance
with data on base of defective bulb. Do not
exceed wattage given on bulb base.

The bulbs of the front external lights are
replaced through openings in the front
wheel arch: turn relevant wheels to gain
access, release catch and remove cover.
Headlight aiming
We recommend that headlight aiming be
carried out by your Vauxhall Authorised
Repairer, who will have special equipment.
When adjusting headlights, headlight
range adjustment must be set to 0.
