Remove the headlight bulbs on a Citroen C3: open the bonnet by pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard and secure it. To replace the left headlight bulbs, remove the plastic cover of the battery, take off the inspection cap of the headlight (located at the rear of the headlight).

At this point, you will find the bulbs with metal clips; pull the bulb holders 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 refit the battery cover.

Test the proper functioning of the lights.
