Peugeot 206 – Change front bulbs (Dipped/Full beam/Side)

Filed Under (Peugeot 206) by James on 14-02-2010

Having needed to change the side light and d,ipped beam light on my Peugeot 206 today, I looked on the Internet and couldn’t find any simple diagram on how to change the side light (having only changed full and dipped beam bulbs before)… so I thought it would be good to create a simple guide on changing bulbs on a Peugeot 206… though I suspect this maybe pretty similar for other Peugeot’s.

This guide is based on the change I’ve just done, which was on the front right bulbs. I’ll try and add fog lights or rear lights as and when I next replace them.

Generic steps required for Full beam / Dipped deam and Side lights

: Starting position – I’m replacing the front right bulbs.

: Depress the top, or lift the bottom section of the tab partway down the screenwash filler, pull the filler towards you at the same time.

: Lift the filler out of the way

: Consider placing a clean cloth in screenwash opening to prevent debris falling in. Now lift the tab up and rock the bulb cover backwards towards the drivers cabin.

: Cover is difficult to manoeuvre out, I find it comes out best twisting 90 degrees towards the engine.

: You’re there! Now you can see the rear of all 3 bulb units (marked in picture).

Full beam / Dipped beam

: Pull power cable straight back towards drivers cabin (may need a little wiggle!)

: Unhook wire bulb support from hook at top of bulb holder… it’s hinged at the bottom

: The hinged support should hinge downwards to allow access to the bulb pins.

: Lift bulb out straight towards drivers cabin (rocked in picture to show bulb). Note the way up of the bulb, a tab on the bulb forces it to only fit one way up (tab upwards). You’ll need to fit the new one this way up for it to fit the bulb support!
