[How to] – Astra F/G – Zijknipperlichten vervangen (Engels)

[RISL]

Ik heb veel how-to’s in pdf in het Engels ontvangen en deze niet vertaald omdat dit anders erg veel tijd zou gaan kosten. Mocht je er niet aan uitkomen, mag je me pm’en. De meeste van deze how-to’s heb ik zelf ook al eens uitgeprobeerd.
Met de MK3 wordt de Astra F bedoeld, met de MK4 de Astra G.
De foto’s zijn gemaakt op een Astra G.

Step 1
Carefully ease a small pick/screwdriver between the indicator and the bodywork – insert from the front on a MK4 and the rear on a MK3. (You can unclip it from behind by removing the inner arch liner but that takes too long and is a dirty job).

At the rear of the indicator is a clip: you will need to push this in slightly for the indicator lens to pop out.

Once the unit it out, it is a good time to clean and polish the area under the old indicator lens.

Step 2
On some indicator lenses you will need to change the standard white bulb to an orange emitting bulb, this is because some lenses do not come with the orange diffuser built into the unit. Note: An orange emitting light is required for an MOT pass.

Some of the bulb holders pull out of the lens, and some twist out – standard VX ones twist out. The standard bulb is a push in type (501) in the holder itself. Once the bulbs are fitted test everything works & progressing to Step 3

Step3
Push/Twist the bulb holder back in the new unit and then clip the unit back into the wing
