Do you want to change the headlight bulbs on a Citroen C5 but don't know how? Follow these steps. Open the bonnet by pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard and secure it. Remove the plastic rivets using a screwdriver from the side trim.

Locate the inspection caps for the headlights (located at the back of the headlights) and remove them. At this point, you will find the bulbs with metal clips; pull the bulb holder out of the headlight and extract the damaged bulb.

Fit the new bulb (ensure it is the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holder back into the headlight housing. Remove the battery if you need to replace the left headlight bulbs.

Finally, close the headlight with the inspection cap. Test the lights to ensure they are working correctly. -Plastic spatula -Flathead screwdriver.
