How do you replace the bulbs fitted in the front headlight of a Peugeot 208? Open the bonnet by pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard and secure it with the prop rod. Locate the inspection caps for the headlights (located at the rear of the headlight) and remove them.

Pull the bulb holders out of the headlight and extract the damaged bulbs with the help of a screwdriver (if necessary).

Fit the new bulbs (always the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holder into the headlight housing. Reassemble all the previously removed parts.

Test the new bulbs.
