DRL bulb - access

Post by spako »

One of my DRL bulbs needs replacing.

I had a quick look at the back of the lamp but couldn't find out how to access the DRL bulb.

Any ideas?

BTW, what kind of bulb goes there?

The Citroën workshop manual handily says you should partly remove the front bumper to access the DRL lamp, but I think someone on here has managed to do it without all that grief. You need (I think) a Torx screwdriver in the back of the lamp fitting to turn the lamp a quarter turn to release it. It'd no doubt assist if you have arms with 37 universal joints in them and pipecleaner fingers...... or a small obedient child available who can be wedged in place to do the job :-D No idea of price or part number, but if it's a Citroën part, it'll probably fair take your breath away :)
