As we can see, it is possible to change the third brake light and the license plate light at the same time on the Citroen C3. To remove the license plate light, we will need a sharp tool, such as a screwdriver. If we want to make sure not to scratch anything, then we can use a plastic spatula, which will help us remove the light from its housing.

Underneath, we find the bulb to be changed; we remove it and replace it with a new one - being careful not to touch it with bare hands -; instead, to replace the third brake light bulb, we need to lift the rear hatch, and near the light, we will find metal clips: let's remove them without causing damage and the light will come off from the front.

Disconnect the electrical connector and replace the bulb.
