Unless youve got ridiculously small hands youll have to take the lights out wich means bumper has to come off wich is all straight forward but just annoying just to change a bulb . Id upgrade to some HIDs if i were you

I've changed a few mate and I have small hands. Bastards always tend to go in the winter too when you can feel fuck all for 20 minutes trying to get the clip back on.

Depends if you have the facelift or not, facelift is more of a ball ache. Preface lift isn't that bad tbh

will say yes not the worst in the world but get yourself a set of these and will help with the fiddly clips every time and a little mirror on a stick

Changed plenty in the gf's old pre-facelift corsa and even fit HID kit on my old facelift one without taking lights out.

If you have a facelift one, get HID kit, any other cheap bulbs seemed shite to me.

I thought they only fitted ones you bought from them?

Some people would say just drop the bumper as it's literally just a few bolts

It takes 10 minutes to do a Megane normally, I've done one before that took half an hour, but it's like anything really, sometimes there's complications lol

Corsa c is bit fiddly as you can't really see what your doing to well with the metal clips, but I found no need to remove bumper or headlights lol. To do driver side you need to remove air intake pipe which just pulls off
