 Vauxhall - Astra-J The joys of changing a headlight bulb - VxFan
Not content with making the space available as limited as possible, I've just discovered the bulb holders are held in with two T15 torx bolts!!!

Given there's not much room for your fingers, let alone trying to undo the torx bolts as well, what a ridiculous design.

What happened to a simple spring clip released by unhooking it, or the bulb clipping into place?

I've just had to mess about with a dental mirror, then taping my torx bit to the mini ratchet to stop it from falling out and dropping into the headlight assembly.

And the backs of my hands look like they've had a argument with next doors cat. Grrrr!!!
