How to Change a Bulb on a Peugeot 307
by Carl PruitThe headlight bulbs on your Peugeot 307 require that you maintain them regularly to keep you safe when driving at night. The bulbs can go out for a variety of reasons, including everything from just wearing out to a shortened life due to oils from skin coming in contact with it when the bulbs are installed in the car. You can replace the bulbs yourself in just a few minutes, ensuring that your headlights are working when you need them.

Step 3
Pull the cover off the back of the headlight and locate the retaining clip that holds the bulb in place.

Place the new bulb inside the clip and reinsert the clip into the back of the headlight, turning it clockwise until it snaps into the socket.
