SWMBO reports no sidelights or headlights (dipped beam) indicators and high beam functioning fine Is it likely just to be the bulb ? Reply to this message | Report message

A Relay went on mine, @ 1st it was the full beam not staying on or not coming on and then ALL the electrics went, but the car started and ran fine but the buzzer stayed on telling me I had my keys in the ignition - well dur! Im sure that dipped and sidelights are on a seperate bulb Check Bulbs Connection to Bulbs Fuse Relays in the box at the back of the engine bay Main Headlight switch Reply to this message | Report message

mmm.... two very dead bulbs replaced She'd better keep an eye on them, there's probably some underlying problem. Anyway, thank god it's an Astra and not a flipping Megane is what I say ! Reply to this message | Report message

>> there's probably some underlying problem. Probably not. Quite a few instances on here of multiple bulb failures. Reply to this message | Report message

Would she notice the sidelight had gone unless the headlight had gone? Reply to this message | Report message

>> Would she notice the sidelight had gone Would she notice one dipped headlight had gone? I didn't when I drove my dad's Astra-G. Dunno how long it had been out. Only noticed one night when I pulled up to the garage door. Reply to this message | Report message

...Would she notice one dipped headlight had gone?... Seconded. I reckon it's quite hard to tell from the driver's seat if one dipped headlight is not working. Reply to this message | Report message

We had a Mitsubishi Spacewagon a few years ago that ate rear tail lamps for breakfast. After I swapped the cheap Halford bulbs for branded ones the diet began. Reply to this message | Report message

>> Yeah, I don't think Vauxhall ever moved out of the oil lamp era. Actually the standard lights on the Astra-G were very good. Much better than the standard lights on my Vectra-C. Reply to this message | Report message

Agree with that, on the Astra G they where really brilliant - however not so good on the Astra G However for really poor headlights you should try a facelifted Renault Laguna mk1 Reply to this message | Report message
