How to Replace the Headlight Bulbs on a Citroen C3

Model: Citroen C3 FC, FN - Years 2002-2009
Part: Headlight bulb

Let’s see how to replace the bulbs fitted in the front headlight of a Citroen C3. Open the front bonnet and (pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard) secure it with the prop rod. Locate the inspection cap of the headlight (located at the back of the headlight) and remove it. At this point, you will find the bulbs with metal clips; pull the bulb holders out of the headlight and extract the damaged bulbs with the help of a screwdriver. Fit the new bulbs (always the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holders back into the front headlight. Reassemble all previously removed parts.

To open the bonnet on this vehicle, follow these simple instructions: first, open the driver's door and locate the lever positioned just below the dashboard, marked with an image of the vehicle with the bonnet open. Pull this lever towards you until you hear a "click" indicating the bonnet is released. Next, exit the cabin and stand in front of the bonnet to disengage the safety catch and complete the opening.
