How to Replace the Front Headlight on a Citroen C3

Model: Citroen C3 FC, FN - Years 2002-2009
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. To fit the new headlight, simply follow these instructions in reverse, and the replacement will be complete.
