When you have your dipped headlights on and you notice that one of your headlights is not lighting up, it is certainly the bulb that is burnt out!
-
To access the bulb, open the hood.
-
-
-
The powerful 1.6 TDI engine is offered to us: the dipped headlight bulbs are on the sides at the front.
-
The bulb location is hidden in a small compartment covered with a large rubber stopper.
-
-
-
Remove the rubber stopper (just pull on it, no problem).
-
We have access to the inside of the compartment! To remove the bulb, simply turn it a quarter turn counterclockwise.
-
Frankly, it comes quite easily, just be careful not to tear everything out!
-
The bulb can be removed from its compartment, but remains attached to its support. The connector remains attached, so be careful not to tear the connector! You have to remove the bulb from the support: again, a little dexterity!

A must in any good Oscaro tutorial: comparing the parts!
-
Here, it's quite easy, knowing that the bulb meets a very specific classification: for a dipped beam, you need an H7 bulb.
-
In the second photo, we can clearly see that the bulb is burnt out, there is no longer any connection between the two ends!
-
Be careful when handling the new bulb, the grease from your fingers on the glass of the halogen bulb is not a good mix! So handle the bulb with its metal terminals as much as possible.
-
-
-
Start by putting the bulb back on its holder.
-
Then you have to fix the support in the compartment, this time making a quarter turn clockwise.
-
Then we put the rubber stopper back on.
-
-
-
We turn the ignition back on, turn on the dipped headlights, and we see the result of our hard work: it works!!! (normally!)
-
Now that you've managed to fix it yourself like a pro, go and order an H7 bulb from your favourite spare parts website right away, so you can act quickly the next time the other bulb burns out!
-
You should always have a spare bulb!
-
A very easy operation to do yourself: you just have to go slowly when unclipping the bulb holder, then unclipping the bulb from the holder.
Be careful not to touch the glass of the bulb with your fingers!

Same, I ended up removing the battery to access the left bulbs whose support is clearly not made to be dismantled and which, moreover, is not in the axis of the shutter. My remarks concern the Fabia 3
I succeeded thanks to this tutorial but it was laborious!
Very easy, don't exaggerate. I had a hell of a time unscrewing the first bulb and worse screwing it back in. For the other one that we don't talk about here it's worse. The space is very narrow to slide your hand in and it was impossible for me to unscrew this damn bulb! It's stuck and I hurt my hand. I'm still going to have to go to a garage. Grrr. I'm super pissed off now!
