Part: Headlight

Before starting, open the front bonnet of your Citroen C3. Begin by removing the front grille by unscrewing the securing bolts. Then, unscrew the bolts that secure the sides of the front bumper and move it slightly. This will give you access to the bolts that secure the front headlight. Proceed to unscrew and remove these bolts, then extract the headlight from its housing. At this point, disconnect the rear connector, and you will have successfully completed the disassembly.
