Video tutorial

In this video, we see how to change the third brake light bulb on the Citroen C3: we need to open the rear hatch and look at the back of the third brake light, which is located at the top of the hatch itself. Here we find two black rubber clips that need to be removed, underneath which there are screws that allow us to remove the entire assembly.

By sliding it from the front, we remove the connector that connects the wiring to the electrical system and then we can remove the burnt bulb. Remember to always handle new bulbs with latex gloves, otherwise we will shorten their lifespan.

Reconnect the connector and put the optical group back in place with its screws and clips. That's it.
