How to Replace the Front Headlight Bulb on a Citroën C3?

Model: Citroen C3 FC, FN - Years 2002-2009
Part: Headlight bulb

To replace the front headlight bulb on a Citroën C3, open the bonnet to access the inside of the headlight. Once you have access, detach the headlight protection cover by disconnecting its connector and pulling out the bulb inside. To perform this operation on the left headlight, you will also need to remove the battery cover: once the bulb has been extracted, connect the new one to the connector and insert it back into the headlight.
