For information it has taken me three months to get to the bottom of this, as I know there has been lots of chat as regards this. The manual states Halogen headlights do not need to be altered whilst driving abroad. This is incorrect. It means they cannot be adjusted only. After a lengthy...

Hi all I'm having a strange problem with my 2008 cdti sri 150. I changed the headlights from the black ones to the chrome ones (new from Internet) due to the black ones leaking, since I changed them the high beam won't work at all, only thing it failed mot on. I've checked all the earth points...

Hi all, first off new to this forum and to the world of Astra. Just bought a 2012 CDTi Elite from a friend for a winter commute (i normally ride a motorbike), but i noticed that the stock headlights are pretty poor, since most my driving will be at night down dodgy country lanes this is not...

Hi, I recently changed my headlamps on my Astra H 2005 1.8 as the old ones had become cloudy and no amount of 'restoring' worked. The replacement went well and everything works (though I forgot to do the parking lights - another job another day). However, my main beam is nowhere near as...

Hello everyone, I have recently bought a 63 plate vauxhall astra elite. And I'm looking to do a few things to it, I don't mean turning it into a boy racer car, but maybe making the lights brighter, adding Bluetooth to the cd400 I have in there. Just wondering if anyone had any recommendations or...

Hi all, quick question, after a small accident a while ago I'm finally getting round to fixing the damage, it's getting sprayed by ChipsAway next week, but I need a new passenger side headlight, and I was wondering if anyone could help me out and tell me if this one I've found will be ok? I...

Right so I found it pretty hard to find proper posts with images on which 9012 bulbs to get for the dipped/main beam for my GTC, so I thought Id make a quick post on my find. I ended up taking a punt on these from HIDs Direct...

Hello all, first time posting here, have a query and been looking through a load of different forums and haven't found anything about what I'm after or if it is feasible. I have a 3Door Astra Mk5 and want to change the lights to have angel eyes. HOWEVER, as opposed to buying whole new lights as...

Hi all, I am looking for some help; i want to upgrade all of my forward facing lights to a 6000k colour temp. So that's the front parking lights (I'm thinking LEDs http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271164274546) The fog lights I already have 2 35 watt hid ballasts so I'm thinking of just getting...

I have a '58 plate Astra and one of my main headlight bulbs has blown. It's a ball ache to replace them from under the wheel arch I know. I ordered a new set of xenon bulbs and white sidelights, the main bulbs shouldn't be a problem to replace the sidelights are a real ball ache! The gap to...

Astra H headlamps Years pass by and the headlamps are in bad shape. I live in a country where the sun shines all year round. This effected the clearness of the headlamps very badly. I need to restore them, or perhaps,clean them. What is the method to clean them. Do i need cleaning kits, or I...

Found these non directional xenons online LINKY Now I rang them up and found out they were not Hella or FK but Depo. So I went round to have a look at the actual item. The question is, are Depo still a half decent brand and at £110 each are they fit for task? If they are good I've also asked...
