Hello guys,

I'm having a bit of a problem with the main beam (driver side) of my 2004 petrol C3.

The h1 bulb is OK but the light won't come on only on the driver side.

It started to happen since I changed it, I've tried multiple bulbs without success.

A photograph of the fixture and mount place:

As you see there is only one curved wire that should lock into the where the black cable is plugged, but it's not easy to lock it down, and when I think it's locked properly it displaces the bulb...

Will be looking forward for your help!

Cheers

Hello daedpt

Reading your questions I'm not 100% sure I understand what you're asking.

Is your problem that you can't get the main beam bulb seated properly and therefore it won't illuminate?
If at first you don't succeed, destroy all the evidence and pretend you never tried :lol:
