Vectra C headlights

[denzo]

Hello All,

I'm thinking of changing my stock headlight bulbs to Philips Vision (H7)

The bulbs look a nightmare to change without shredding your hands to bits ... any tip[s on how to change the headlight bulb and survive

Cheers

When I did mine my hands ended up in ribbons and my patience was tried to the limit, very worthwhile though. The washer bottle pipe just pulls straight up & off ..makes life a bit easier.but I have hands like shovels *lol*

buy them from Halfords and see what they'll charge you to fit them. if its less than a fiver believe me (and Bainie) its gota be worth letting them do it.

That's a very good idea. I wish I'd thought of that.

[denzo]

is it really that much of a pain in the *** ?

What are the steps required to do a DIY change? I lke the look of some of the H7's on ebay

Cheers

I've put H7 Ultra White Bulbs in mine mate, and yes I cut my hands up, but thought it was worth it. If you've got massive shovels for hands you may find it a little difficult, but not too much.

I found them an improvement over the standard VX bulbs but still think the lights on my wifes Meriva are better than my Vec

would you suggest changing/upgrading to the ultra white bulbs???

Yes mate do the upgrade. I wonder what the facelift headlights will be like, has anyone took one for a test drive?
