How to Replace the Rear Headlight Bulb on a Citroen C3

Model: Citroen C3 Pluriel - Years 2003-2010
Part: Tail light bulb

To replace a rear headlight bulb on a second-generation Citroen C3, switch off the lights, open the boot, and locate the fastening of the affected light unit. Remove the nut or locking screw accessible from the inside of the boot, then grasp the light and gently pull it outwards, taking care with the alignment pins. Disconnect the electrical connector and release the rear bulb holder by acting on the relevant retaining tabs. Locate the faulty bulb, press it slightly, and twist to remove it from the bulb holder. Insert a new bulb of the same type and reassemble the bulb holder. Reconnect the electrical plug, reposition the light unit into the bodywork, and tighten the fastening. Before closing the boot, switch on the lights and check for correct operation.
