Are the headlight bulbs on your Citroen C3 blown? Let's see how to change them from the engine bay. Open the bonnet by pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard and secure it with the prop rod. Locate the inspection cap of the headlight and remove it. The cap is situated behind the front headlight.

Once you find the bulbs with the metal clips, pull the bulb holders out of the headlight and extract the damaged bulbs with the help of a screwdriver.

Install the new bulbs (always of the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holder back into the headlight housing. Refit the plastic caps and switch on the headlights.
