Delphi Automotive Systems Corporation
5725 Delphi Drive
Troy, Michigan  48098

Gentlemen:

                  We have acted as counsel to Delphi Automotive Systems
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the
preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the
Company's Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement")
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to 8,000,000 shares of
Common Stock of the Company, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock")
issuable upon the exercise of options granted under the Delphi Automotive
Systems Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan").

                  In that capacity, we have examined the originals or copies,
certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Certificate of
Incorporation and the By-laws of the Company, as amended through the date
hereof, resolutions of the Company's Board of Directors, and such other
documents and corporate records relating to the Company and the issuance and
sale of the Shares as we have deemed appropriate. The opinions expressed herein
are based exclusively on the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

                  In all cases, we have assumed the legal capacity of each
natural person signing any of the documents and corporate records examined by
us, the genuineness of signatures, the authenticity of documents submitted to us
as originals, the conformity to authentic original documents of documents
submitted to us as copies and the accuracy and completeness of all corporate
records and other information made available to us by the Company.

                  Based upon the foregoing and consideration of such questions
of law as we have deemed relevant, we are of the opinion that Shares and paid
for in accordance with the terms of the Plan will be validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable by the Company.

                  We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to
the Registration Statement. In giving this consent we do not admit that we come
within the categories of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

                               Very truly yours,


                               /s/ DRINKER BIDDLE & REATH LLP

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' CONSENT

Statement on Form S-8 of Delphi Automotive Systems Corporation of our report
