Now the dark nights are upon us I have been out in my Ds3 2018 with with xenon headlights and noticed that the passengers Led light strip, (which also does the indicator)is only half lit up ,the drivers side is fine. Any one come across this problem ?

I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

So that shows how to replace the earlier type, if the later DS3 lamp is anything like the 2015+ DS5 then the drs led lamps cannot be replaced, the whole headlamp unit has to be replaced, £1800+ each lamp + labour, luckily my extended warranty covered mine as half of the LEDs in each side failed within six weeks of each other, car was 7 years 38'000+ miles, and apparently if more than half fail on any side the vehicle is no longer legal to be used on UK roads, don't know if this is true or not but as the Citroen extended warranty covered it, parts and labour, I suspect it is, the small print did state at least half of the LEDs in the lamp must have failed to be covered.
