Learn how to replace the headlight bulbs on a Citroen C5. Open the bonnet by pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard (if present), and secure it with the prop rod. Remove the battery using a socket wrench (to replace the left headlight bulbs), 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 and pliers.

Install the new bulb/LED (ensuring it is the correct type and size), insert the bulb holder back into the headlight housing, and close the headlight with the inspection cap. Test the proper functioning of the installed bulbs.
