on corsa B, its just two 8mm socket screws, one on the top and one on the front!

its easy when you know how, but tricky if u dont! the key is to get the clip at the bottom of the headlight in first or alligned up right then push them in

i ended up taking my bumper off as i didnt want to scratch paint work. if you have auto headlight adjust its a bit of a paint toget the adjuster back in.

you have to push the casing in so the little bit pops out. and then try to shove the ball thingy in whist holding the casing back

hope that helps

Adjuster goes in with no effort! You do realise it locks into place... you're not trying to force the adjuster in are you?
