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

 Last updated on February 8th, 2025

Having needed to change the side light and dipped 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.

Pricing for Peugeot 206 bulbs

I’ve bought mine from GSF and EuroCarParts in the past, but recently started buying mine online, as the price, particularly for higher intensity ones (for better visibility) seems to be better.

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

Peugeot 206 - Changing front bulb - Starting point
Starting position – I’m replacing the front right bulbs.
Peugeot 206 - Changing front bulb - removing screenwash filler
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
Peugeot 206 - Changing front bulb - no screenwash filler, remove bulb cover
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

Peugeot 206 - Changing front bulb - removing power cable
Pull power cable straight back towards drivers cabin (may need a little wiggle!)
Peugeot 206 - Changing front bulb - removing bulb support
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.
Peugeot 206 - Changing front bulb - removing dimmed beam bulb
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!

Side light

Peugeot 206 - Changing front bulb - removing side light - half twisted
Grab the bulb bracket and twist it 90 degress (45 degress turned in photo). Fitting should come straight backwards out of the light unit.

The bulb sits on the front the removed bracket. Grab hold of the bulb and pull it out.
Peugeot 206 - Changing front bulb - replacing side light bulb
Bulb literally pulls straight out. Push replacement back in.
