Hello im looking to replace my headlights to the updated oem drl's (not sure if its an update or an option?) . Im just wondering of course can it be done easily or at all? , can i use insignia headlights? And wheres the best place to purchase without going to vauxhall . My car is 2.0 cdti ecoflex 2013.

Many thanks .

Do you mean the LED DRL/Sidelight?

Your best bet would be Ebay for the lights.

They will throw up errors though I'm sure a VCI could be requested so your BCM knows it has LED instead of Halogen.

VCI is Vehicle config index & BCM is Body control module.

I very much doubt a dealer will be able to do it.

@Rusty2009 Would that apply to the rear lights as well? I've got the happy blue module currently which cancels out the error.

Yes but that depends on GM giving it to you if your model/year didn't leave factory with they would reject the request.

I upgraded my halogen headunit to the factory LED ones. I even had happy blue too.

1) it is plug and play. Happy blue cannot cancel out the errors that will be shown. They will need a code (vci) which will tell your cars computer (bcm) that they are there.

2) you can't use insignia headlights as they are a different shape
