Unread post by Hippo »

Hi all, is it an easy job to replace the headlights on a C5 2004 estate? When you answer this consider the answer for a cack-handed numpty who's a few sockets shortr of a set! :-D Thanks in advance.

There are just a few bolts to remove and a connector IIRC.

2004 is the transition year. If it is a early MK2 (2004 - 2008) then it is a bumper off job.
It might be different in MK1 as KP wrote.

I think it's a MK1, it's got the early grill, so hopefully not a bumper off job :)

If your C5 looks same as the yellow taxi in the pic then it is a MK1 C5 and it should be easy job :wink:

Pretty sure the mk1 is a bumper off job too (well at least dropping the bumper down). one of the lamp fixing bolts are behind the bumper.
