Replacing the front headlight bulb on the Citroen C3 (H7 fitting) is quite straightforward as there is enough room to manoeuvre behind the headlight in the engine bay. Once the front bonnet is opened, access the headlight housing, unclip the spring holding the protective cap of the bulb holder, disconnect the power connector of the bulb, and then unclip the retaining spring of the bulb itself.

Remove the old bulb and insert the new one, taking care not to touch the glass with your fingers.

Reattach the retaining spring, the power connector, and finally the cap.
