Peugeot 308 low beam headlight replacement method is: Open the engine compartment cover, locate the headlight assembly position, remove the dust cover, and you will see the bulb base inside the headlight assembly. Press down the wires on both sides and then pull them outward to remove the bulb. When installing, pay attention to the direction of the notch. The Peugeot 308 is a model under the Peugeot brand, with body dimensions of 4558mm in length, 1805mm in width, and 1505mm in height. In terms of appearance, the Peugeot 308 inherits the large-mouth grille characteristic of the Peugeot family models, with a raised engine hood and a large and prominent lion logo, making a dazzling debut with its dynamic styling.
When it comes to changing the low beam headlights on a Peugeot 308, I usually do it myself. After opening the engine hood, locate the cover at the back of the headlight assembly and either unscrew it or unclip it. Remember the position so you don’t mix them up. Disconnect the power cable plug, carefully pulling it out without yanking the wires. The old bulb can be removed by twisting it 90 degrees or simply pulling it out, then replace it with a new H7 or HB3 bulb and push it in firmly. Test if it lights up before putting the cover back on. The whole process takes about 10 minutes, and you barely need any tools—just your hands. It’s recommended to wear gloves to avoid getting oil on the bulb, which can shorten its lifespan, and check the wiring connectors for any signs of aging. Regular DIY maintenance on the lighting system saves repair costs and helps you learn new skills—pretty cost-effective. The Peugeot 308’s layout is well-designed, making the job much easier.
