How To Replace Headlight Low Beam Bulb?

[z0mbi3]

Hi guys,

 

The low beam headlight on the passenger side of my C1 died last night. This is my first car that I've had this happen on, so I haven't changed one before.

 

Is it fairly straight forward to swap the bulb out yourself? If so could someone possibly give me some instructions?

 

I understand that Halfords will do it for you but I'd rather just pick up the bulb and have a go myself.

 

Can anyone help?

You need a H4 ( 60/55W)

 

diconnect the cable connector

remove the rubber surround

Push the wire tab on the side, and it unclips

Remove the bulb, and replace with new

 

Then reverse proccedure.

 

Ensure drain on rubber surround is faceing downwards

I haven't changed one on a C1, but one thing worth remembering is not to touch the glass part of the bulb while you're fitting it :rolleyes:
