How to replace the headlight bulb of the Citroen C3

Model: Citroen C3 SC - Years 2009-2016
Part: Headlight bulb

To replace the headlight bulb on a Citroen C3 vehicle, we need to open the front hood and remove the plastic cover on the headlight by simply lifting the metal clip. After removing the cap from the light fixture, lift the metal part of the connector to disconnect it from the bulb and extract the lamp. Insert the new bulb into the headlight and connect it to the connector. Lower the metal lever to secure the bulb in place and then close the light fixture cap. After completing this simple operation, check the bulb's functionality by turning on the headlights.
