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

Bulb replacement

Before replacing a bulb, switch ignition off
and turn appropriate 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 lint-free cloth, using
alcohol or white spirits.
The replacement bulb must be in
accordance with the data on the base of
the defective bulb. Do not exceed wattage
given on bulb base.
The bulbs of the front outer lights are
replaced through openings in the front
wheel arches: turn appropriate wheels to
gain access, release catch and remove
cover.
Headlight aiming
We recommend that headlight adjustment
be carried out by a workshop, who will
have special equipment.
On headlight adjustment, the manual
headlight range adjustment 3 must be set
to 0.
