In this tutorial, see how to replace the headlamp bulbs on the Citroen C3, a very simple and quick operation. First, ensure the key is not inserted, then open the engine bonnet, remove the large rubber cap at the back of the headlamp, and disconnect the power connector.

Next, extract the old bulb by releasing the metal clip and install the replacement bulb by following the reverse procedure. The operation is identical for both dipped and main beam lights.

Avoid touching the new bulbs with bare hands to prevent leaving residues that can cause overheating.
