i aint changed mine but the light switch is piss easy to remove, remove the use pannel cover and undo 2 screws. then pop the vent down and theres another 2 screws behind there. undo the clips and it shud come away.
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
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:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!

I've done it and no need for resistors at all, I can give you pics if you need. But there just a simple swap for the standard bulbs. The hardest part is twisting the LED's to get the correct polarity.

Yeah I think they were a tenner off eBay. Sorry for the poor picture quality, I took them on my phone. Also the LED behind the time iv'e twisted for you to show you that one not working, if you get the polarity wrong, if I twist it 90 then it comes back on. Hope this helps.

It is easy. 10 minute job. I kitted out my last Corsa with blue LEDS. Though I never managed to get the Hazard switch to reconnect... which makes me anxious about ripping it all out in the GLS
Stock FTW!! :D
