How do I replace the front side lights on my citroen C5 2006?

That person is right , I had to use 45 degree surgical forceps , but you could use right angle long nose pliers , fiddly , but possible , I have done it... I have xenon discharge headlamp units if that makes a difference..on a Mark 2 2006 .
Citroen tell you you need to remove headlamp unit , but its not true , just a bit of perseverence needed..FH

What tosh! The citroen handbook shows the headlamp/side lamp cluster unit as removed from the vehicle, it does not give any instructions in relation to accessing the bulbs with the unit fitted to the vehicle. There is no direct access! I think Brian should actually look at a 2006 C5.

Pull off the rubber cap. Pull the lampholder out (may have to use the cable to pull it out) Lamp is a offset baynet. at about £4.00 each Replace lamp push lamp and holder back. All this from under the bonnet.Drivers side is a faster job than the other side.All as the handbook
