How to change the fog lights on the Citroen C3

Model: Citroen C3 SY, SX - Years 2016-2023
Part: Fog lights

Let's see how to change the rear fog lights on the Citroen C3; to change the bulb, we will need to remove the entire optical group, but it is not a difficult job. Let's open the rear hatch and near the optical group, we remove the cover made from the carpet, which allows us to unscrew a small plastic nut, which we will do better by folding down the rear seat on this side and turning it counterclockwise. To prevent the nut from falling inside this opening, we place a cloth to create some thickness, so we can easily retrieve it, then we disconnect the electrical connector and pull the optical group out from the outside. To access the bulbs, we need to remove the rear cover. Remember to always touch the bulbs with gloves, as the YouTuber correctly does; in fact, the bulb was not burned out, but just misaligned. So we put the cover back in place, then we put the headlight back in place, reconnect the electrical connector, and tighten the plastic screw. We close the carpet cover and we are done.
