How do you change the headlight bulb on a Citroen dispatch van?

Answer 1

I have just put a bulb in to the passenger side of a 2009 dispatch this very hour in the dark, there are no 2 ways about it when you try this for the first time you will have to use a mirror to see the way the clip is held over the back of the Bulb,

You will see that the wire clip is hinged at the bottom and kind of oval where it goes over the base of the bulb then it forms a little 10mm (for want of a better word) Tit,

Maybe it would be better described as an upside down U at the top of the oval wire if that makes sense… you will see that only one leg of this U is holding the wire in place so press in the free side hard and slide it away from the flat clip that's holding the other leg… Job done,

Forgot to say you need to take off the rubber cover and pull off the wire plug before you can free up the wire,

I took a picture after I installed the new lidl bulb and will try to post it if that's possible here… I really do hope this helps someone because doing it this way saved me the 2 hours that my mate told me it took him, once you have your mirror and in my case a torch it's a five minute job… in fact it took me much longer to describe it then it took to do it,

Answer 2

Oh, dude, changing the headlight bulb on a Citroen Dispatch van is like a walk in the park... if the park was filled with confusing car parts. You basically need to access the back of the headlight assembly, twist the bulb out, replace it with a new one, and voila! Just make sure not to drop the bulb, unless you want your van to have a disco party on the highway.
