How to Remove the Headlight Bulbs or LEDs on a Citroen C3

Model: Citroen C3 FC, FN - Years 2002-2009
Part: Headlight bulb

Open the bonnet by pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard, lift it, and secure it with the prop rod. Locate the inspection cap of the headlight (located at the rear of the headlight) and remove it. At this point, you will find the bulbs with metal clips; pull the bulb holder out of the headlight and extract the damaged bulb using a screwdriver. Fit the new bulb (ensuring it is the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holder back into the headlight housing. Finally, close the headlight with the inspection cap and reassemble the ventilation kit. Test the correct operation of the lights.
