To replace the rear headlight bulb of a Citroën C3, open the trunk and locate the back of the optical group where the protective cover is located. Remove it by rotating or releasing it, depending on the model.

Once removed, you will have access to the faulty bulb. Gently disconnect the electrical connector by pulling it backwards and release the fixing spring or clip that holds the bulb in place.

Remove the old bulb, avoiding touching the glass of the new one with your hands to avoid compromising its operation. Insert the replacement bulb in the same orientation, secure the spring or clip, reconnect the connector, and close the protective cover.

Finally, check the correct operation by turning on the headlights.
