Could someone please tell me the part number for the metal bracket that holds the headlamp bulb in place please (dipped beam). Thanks

Not sure exactly which bit you mean, but I don't think it will be available separately, as only the complete headlamp is listed:

A new one is a snip at £310.....!

It’s the metal clip that holds the bulb in place Richard. Don’t see it on here.

Ah, these are different - the bulb is an H7 and is restrained by a 1/4 turn. There must be some sort of clip on the back of the lamp, but I can't remember if it will come off or not. I always had to get a mirror on the OS to get the bulb back in as I could never remember which way to turn it!!

That's the wrong light anyway Richard :-k

Should be this one:

Not that it shows the bulb clamps either though...

Edit My bad - I was dealing with another vehicle - wrong post! :roll:

As those clips are not actually attached (unlike the wire versions), maybe they are available as a spare part.
If not a Citroen part, maybe a Valeo one?

I've had a look at Valeo's automotive lighting catalogue and there;s nothing listed apart from the bulbs themselves that I can see.

One I posted is for a Mk1 C4 Pic (as per the OP's cars list), yours is a C3 (?) Marc, but since the OP didn't specify, we could both be wrong! However, given the pic later posted of the clip, I rather think I am right this time....

Yes, wrong post Richard! I've edited my post as I was dealing with another issue on a C3 at the same time :roll:
