Citroen C1 Headlight Bulb Change | NO Headlight Removal | ALL Bulbs

[@luukbron]

Simply the best video on this subject around. The only one who got the metal clip on camera properly. Thanks!

[@Leegheid]

I’m a 27 year old woman who knows practically nothing about cars with a dad who knows even less, and you just learned me how to change my light bulbs, successfully so. I can’t thank you enough for the very easy to follow instructions. Thank you, I managed to do something to my car by myself, thanks to your help!

[@lennonpolo]

You learned, he taught!

[@oneworld3719]

You are a life-saver! Since yesterday my Citroen C1 head light one side is not working and need to change. I was running around city go to 3 of Car work shop but NON of them will do it for me as they said they have no time. Police start to control all car on the street and catch all cars that not in order (example light missing etc.) One shop told me that I should try to change it by myself .. Only question is HOW? So I brought Bulb from their shop and watching your video which is very very clear explanation and here we go! Done in just 10mins. I live in Germany so I want to say a big Thanks to you , much appreciated for your absolute useful video. Thank you so much.

[@CycloneCyd]

Thanks OneWorld. Yes, the Police look out for that sort of thing here in UK too. Don't forget to subscribe and share and check out my latest C1 videos. They are all in this playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLOaePmzqZNJ1fPE11dUmVEWmT7kT4OmAQ

It’s the clip!, the clip! clear display for sliding off the clip, best vid ever! Thanks

[@CycloneCyd]

I've got an action cam that's not much bigger than a matchbox. It enables me to get in tight spaces like this. 👍

[@asensibleyoungman2978]

Thank you. I just couldn't get the clip off. I was so frustrated. That camera angle is fantastic. I'll try again. Thank you.

[@bobplatts6252]

This guy is really good ! ... was just about to dismantle the wing to replace the nearside headlight bulb after watching other videos ... then after watching this ... changed it in about a minute !!!

[@CycloneCyd]

Wow! Thanks Bob. Welcome aboard. Yeah, it's the same with the Saab (see my video) - even the service manual says to take the headlight out, which in turn means removing the front bumper!! Just the sort of 'urban myth' (read: bullshit) I try to cut through

[@koffieleut]

I'm still thinking about removing the unit. I've got big hands and it's almost impossible on the driversite. NL car.

[@MiffyHQ]

i tried doing this a few years back using another guide on youtube but it took me about 50min to get it working, and it still went in sideways and didnt get my car through inspection, with your guide this took all of about 3 minutes and went through inspection first try, thanks alot man

I've been fiddling with this for an hour now.. But thanks to you, the fix took 5-7 minutes!! Thank you so much!

[@CycloneCyd]

Thanks. Welcome aboard

[@thebearcouncil8810]

Thank you so much Cyd. This really helped me change the headlight bulb, and it was easier than I had thought despite not being able to see everything. I used a dental mirror as someone had suggested somewhere and my cellphone flashlight. For me, I still had a rubber protection thingie attatched which needed to be pulled out, it was a bit tight but came back in really easily. For the clip, it wasn't just to push it back in for me, that bit was actually a bit difficult, and I had to use the mirror and slide it to the one side while pushing into the clip. I am writing this in case someone else finds it a bit challenging. The mirror part really helps to see exactly how the clip is constructed and how the thing metal wire thing goes into it, though I probably should have used a larger mirror.

[@CycloneCyd]

Awesome. Thanks for sharing

[@stuborn-complaining-german]

I wish I had seen this video a long time ago, before I had to disassemble half the car to find out what you so well showed in this video, and before cutting up my hands trying unsuccessfully to fiddle those H4 bulbs into place...😅

[@lennekevandesande4418]

How did you get on?

[@mattdrinkwater3087]

Superb I tried for about an hour to get clip off not knowing you had to pull it to one side , done in no time following this 👍

[@chrishooper9260]

Thanks. Very helpful. I especially love the camera going right behind the bulb to see what I can't!

[@CycloneCyd]

Hi chris, Thanks for the kind words. Yeah, pictures, 000's of words and all that, lol!! Don't forget to share.

[@alanclarke1763]

Perfect video, thank you - managed to do both in 5 minutes. Note about other videos, you do not need to remove the bumper! Compared to other cars I've owned (looking at you, MkI Focus), there's plenty of room on the battery side to get the bulb out. The rubber cover should be pulled out after you've disconnected the power connector. Then you can remove the clip/bulb.

[@CycloneCyd]

Glad it helped 👍👍

[@grumpyfishes]

Excellent video, but to add a couple of points: the socket can stick to pins due to years of light corrosion on the bulb pins, so inject a tiny amount of WD into where the wires enter the socket, this will spread into the contacts making for easier removal. If yours has the rubber boots they will pop off with a good tug, on re-fitting, smear a film of vaseline onto boot contact surfaces, also on bulb pins (after clip is fastened), boot and socket will then fit effortlessly. Also use one of those extendable mirrors (ebay), makes jobs like this much easier.

[@elizabethbailey634]

Just a message to say thank you! Saved me £10 and great to feel so handy haha

[@MrGregHiller]

Thanks a lot. All very clearly explained indeed. However, one remark, or question; you dont seem to either remove beforehand, nor replace after you've finished replacing the head lamp bulb, any rubber seal or gaiter affair. Could you have maybe fotgotten that, of did your car not have one ?

[@CycloneCyd]

They should have a rubber cap but ours was missing

[@davidlowden5857]

Mine has a rubber gaitor which makes it difficult to get the connector to the bulb off

[@CycloneCyd]

Pay attention at 3:25 onwards and particularly at 3:42 If it's not in place properly the beam pattern will be out, possibly dazzling oncoming traffic and will fail an MoT

[@samsonchua381]

Wonderful channel and videos! I was wondering if you recommend to upgrade the headlight bulbs on the C1, mine is running very dim, maybe some LED?

[@CycloneCyd]

Changing the bulbs to LED is a no no here in the UK and with good reason. Most retrofit LED bulbs are utter rubbish, they destroy the beam pattern and can overheat melting the reflector❗ You could try a pair of these Philips Crystal Vision bulbs. I've heard good things about them, but they aren't road legal in the EU so they aren't very common. Cheap enough to worth a try I think. bit.ly/Philips_Crystal_Vision HOWEVER: I have found an LED based product that may do the trick. I'm planning to buy some and try them out to assess performance and reliability before I can recommend them. bit.ly/H4_LED_projector

[@aft3rgl0w]

Also any idea how do i go about height adjustment of headlight? mine started throwing light upwards and i need to bring it down. is there a screw for this or do i just push against the connector or something? thanks

[@CycloneCyd]

First make sure the bulb is fitted correctly. My MoT tester says about 60-70% of beam problems are caused by fitting issues with the bulbs. If it is, then get a garage to set your beam for you - it's very difficult to get right at home. Garages use a beam aligner (expensive kit!). Ask them to set the lights at 0.5% not the usual 1% for better range on dip.

[@tinerimborg-rk7ri]

Does the citroen c1 use the same lightbulb for high and low beam or does it have separate lightbulb. My low beams aren't working bur my high beams are working. I don't know what to change, pls help. Thank you in advance

Dip and high are an H4 bulb, dual filament. If both dipped beams failed at the same time, check connections and fuses.

It's actually quite easy once you know how, isn't it?

[@CycloneCyd]

Hello folks, something I've just realised: you should find a rubber cover behind the H4 headlight bulb. it pulls off really easy once you've disconnected the bulb. It goes back on easy enough too, but as you see we've lost ours lol

[@74HC04]

Thanks for adding this detail - I was about to point this out... :) I the rubber cover fits on two concentric circular plastic flanges of the headlight assembly. I found it easier to pull the cover inside-out to press the inner ring into position first (sealing against the bulb's base), then the outer ring. Also, the job is so much easier if you have a small mirror help you locate the wire clip!

[@CycloneCyd]

@@74HC04 thanks for the input, I'm sure others will find it helpful. Yeah a mirror is a good idea, you can also use your phone in selfie mode. Once you've done it a couple of times, you should be able to do it by feel.

[@jakekeable1296]

So am I right in saying that I can use leds in the c1

[@CycloneCyd]

In all the lamp positions except the headlight H4, YES. Why not the H4 I hear you ask. Because the vast majority of LED H4 conversion bulbs are CRAP. They destroy the beam pattern, putting LESS light on the road and dazzling oncoming drivers. And are illegal here in UK for this very reason For the H4, consider these: bit.ly/H4_LED_Proj_Conv - there's even a review from someone with a 107 in Poland. Don't make his mistake though and remember to adjust the high beam screw. I haven't tried these myself yet as I've only just discovered them, but I shall do later in the year.

[@mahmoud-qk2pi]

I think he said CANBUS. Canbus is a protocol that is used inside the car for communication between different computers. Some cars probably use it for the headlight. This means that you probably can’t use custom led bulbs. This can cause errors. But in this case you can, because it doesn’t use it for the headlight.
