To replace the front headlights on the Citroën C5, first open the bonnet and remove the rivets securing the plastic cover at the front of the engine bay. Next, loosen the bolts located at the bottom of the bumper and inside the wheel arch to move its inner cover.

Inside the wheel arch, there will be two clips that need to be turned using the specific tool, as shown in the video.

This will completely detach the bumper, allowing you to loosen the bolts at the bottom of the headlight. Once the connector is removed from the back, you can fully remove the headlight.
