Found these bulbs in my drawer this afternoon. Would they fit the Vec?

I bought a set of wipers for my Astra and they came free

Tried to fit them earlier on but couldnt get to the bulb already on the car!!

they are fiddly to get to in their holders, the holder is just tucked that bit to awkwardly away to make it easy...either get a kid to do it, or drop the lamp out..

Is there an easy way to get the bulb out without taking the whole light out?

I tried again today but it wouldn't budge!! The manual is hopeless as well.....

short of using needle nose pliers on the back of the bulb holders to pull them out,.. no...

on the driverside it helps if you remove the airbox off it's popstuds..gets you lots of access then..

Finally got them fitted this morning

and they look quite smart. Went to Halfrauds and got 2 xenon headlight bulbs and fitted them, and they are just the same as the ones already in the car!!! I was expecting them to be the bright white colour the sidelight bulbs are......

i got these free with a set of headlight bulbs put them in the sidelights look ok also had a spare set so changed the interior front and back lights look better than the yellow white interior lights but dont think there as bright

ah...got some philips blevision sidelights that i got free when i got my gt150 thingies... already changed the sidelights when i got the car so i might pop them into the map light too..
might pop a piece of coloured foil in and see what that does too..
