Not sure what changes there were on the different models but I've just done the offside dipped on my 2003 mark 1 - the bulb was held in by a clip that unclipped at the top and swung down - unplug it first as it gets tangled up if you dont - not easy when you can't see - the bulb goes back in with the tag at the top - can't comment on the main/fog bulb as I've not done one but it could well be the same

HTH

I find it easiest if you take out the headlamp unit. Three screws (bottom one needs care not to drop it), indicator unit slides forward, unclip plastic strip under light. Not as bad a job as you might think. I agree, access otherwise is very tight.

Is this a C5 then all you do is push one of the sides of the clip and it will unhook. once you get the knack its simple. I only found this out after paying 80 (or was it 60) quid to the Citroen Dealer in Dundee who assured me they had to take the front off.
