How to Replace the Front Headlight of a Citroën C3

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

To replace the front headlight of a first-generation Citroën C3, open the bonnet and locate the headlight assembly to be removed. Unscrew the upper fixing screws of the headlight using a Torx spanner. To access the lower fixings, loosen the screws of the wheel arch liner and slightly move the front bumper away from the affected side. Once all fixing points are free, carefully pull the headlight forward to remove it. At the back, disconnect the electrical connectors of the bulbs. Position the new headlight by connecting the connectors, insert it correctly into the housing, and re-tighten all fixing screws. Finally, reposition the bumper.
