are your headlights depos or valeos?

1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:

theres 2 types of standard ones thou, valeo or depos. if you try to take valeo's appart you'll just break them, u need standard depo's to be able to take them appart.

'valeo' or 'depo' should be stamped on the headlight lense, you have no chance trying to split a valeo, or even a 'lucas' ............ you need depo's

with depos all you need do is chuck them in the oven for 4-5 minutes, pull them appart, paint them, put back together, and back oin the oven.

you'll also find depos have metal clips that hold the le's in place which makes life ALOT easier
