Having already answered a few questions about changing the bulbs in Astra K - please see the following, I make no recommendations, no guarantees, and make no comment at all.

Can someone confirm that the front fog lights bulbs are h8.
Thanks

Fog lights are h11 high beam bulb is h1.

Thanks for your comments.
Are you sure, because I was at Halford trying to change the fog light bulbs to whiter ones and the guy said they were h8.
I will check with the dealer tomorrow.
Thanks again.

Actually i checked it now and it is written h8 on the bulbs

But i think h8 and h11 are same types. Because i ordered h11 led headlight bulb and they fit works fine.

I learned that only the power consumption changes. H8 is 35w h11 is 55w. You can use 55w to get more power.

The manual says that
Vehicles with halogen headlight system
The headlights do not have to be adjusted for continental driving.

I have a 1.4 T 150 ps SRI, can anyone tell me what headlights are standard on this.? Thanks

I've just got in from a fast drive on twisty 'A' roads and have realised how short the range is on main (not full) beam is, even on the highest setting.

Is this something others have noticed?
Can I adjust them or do I need to go to a dealer?
I'm not sure just replacing the bulbs will solve the issue, but am considering doing so anyway.

The only way you can adjust them is using the knob next to light switch (setting to 0 shoud give you maximal beam length), but I assume you've tried that. I've changed bulbs in mine for Nightbreaker unlimited, but even before that I don't think the range was notably short. Can you maybe post some photos so we can tell you if it's normal?
