Dipped Headlight bulb replacement

[SpottyDog]

Here we go again... Let's hope replacing the headlight bulbs doesn't end up causing as much trouble than the tyre puncture did 2 weeks ago...
Or like when I had a Fiat Stilo and it had to go to a garage because Halfords wouldn't touch it! (Had to remove battery AND put up on ramp!)

It's pretty straight forward, the metal clip can be fiddly but once you've worked it out it's easy

DS3 bulbs are v straightforward to change unless you're completely inept plenty of room to see what you're doing too....

Count yourself lucky, I had to get a mate to help me remove the front of the Corsa C my fiancee owns when it needed the headlight bulbs replacing... Vauxhall saw fit to design the units so that they have to be removed from the front of the car

Push the spring clip bits you can feel that have the rounded off end, together, and pull out. They sort of pull over.
Take the lamp out, switch it, and push the spring clip bits back together and push in behind where youve just fitted the lamp
If all that makes sense LOL

Tis fiddly tho..... and remember to put the rubber cover back on, or you will get water ingress problems

Wow that was surprisingly easy. And Halfords would've charged £9.99 to fit both!
And thanks for the advice guys.
I'm off to recover from my 3 mile sport relief run this morning... Bet you can't guess where I'm in the picture on: http://www.tnsfc.co.uk/sportrelief-2/

Best tip I got was to use a compacts mirror, let's you see what you're doing.

You use that tip throughout your life now don't you Biggie ???

Oh and SpottyDog - good effort with the run and costume

That and putting a small sticker on the mirror glass showing which side the fuel cap is on!

Oh, now that's useful
