This is the same problem as the Headlight Replacement post below - Nov 2023. For me, trying to get it replaced in the normal service and MOT process at a Vauxhall dealer, Vauxhall had this part on order, but out of stock, for months on end. I tried other garages but out of stock everywhere (also the equivalent Hella part). So the MOT runs out, and there’s nothing you can do about it. You’d be very lucky if a used one comes up - they seem to be very rare. It came as quite a shock that I suddenly had to change an otherwise perfectly good car that had only done 52,000 miles. It’s amazing that a Vauxhall main dealer couldn’t keep this car on the road. I’ve always liked Vauxhalls in the past, going back to a VX 4/90 in the 1960s, but now……..

........so the MOT expired and I've had to change the car. If they're not supporting this model any more Vauxhall should come clean and say so, not keep the part on order for months on end, but "out of stock" with no indication when, if ever, it will be supplied again! By the way, in months of looking I've only seen one used come up on eBay and that had red scuff marks on it which I wouldn't have been happy with - and even then it was about £400.

I've just had the same problem with the same part number for a 2014 Insignia. It fails the MOT because the running light doubles as a sidelight and should come on more faintly when you turn the switch from auto to sidelights. Amazing that Vauxhall can't get one and local garages have searched all their suppliers, plus eBay, Trents, etc. and also failed - no solution.........
