Technical Information
- Manufacturer: Stellantis / Citroën
- Model: Citroën Xsara Picasso (up to 2004)
- Product Codes: 9631494980, 6205W0

Function And Fit
The headlight provides the primary forward lighting assembly: low and high beam functions and the required mounting for the vehicle’s bulbs and electrical connector. It is designed to match the original housing alignment and adjustment points so aim and beam pattern can be set to manufacturer specifications after installation.
Common Failure Modes
- Water Ingress: Cracked seals or damaged lens allow moisture in, causing condensation and electrical faults.
- Impact Damage: Bumper or minor collisions often break mounting tabs or crack the lens.
- Connector Corrosion: Exposure to road salt and moisture can corrode terminals and cause intermittent contact.
- Lens Degradation: UV exposure and age can yellow or cloud the lens reducing light output and visibility.
Replacement Guide
Typical replacement steps for an experienced mechanic or skilled DIYer:
- Open the bonnet and locate the headlight fixing screws and electrical connector.
- Remove any trim or fasteners that restrict access (wheel arch liner or trim may need partial removal on some versions).
- Disconnect the headlight electrical connector and remove the retaining screws or clips holding the unit.
- Carefully withdraw the old assembly, transfer any bulbs or adjustment components if required, and fit the replacement in reverse order.
- Reconnect wiring, secure fasteners to the correct tightness, and test all functions (low beam, high beam, indicators as applicable).
- Adjust the headlight aim to the correct specification to ensure safe beam pattern and avoid dazzling oncoming traffic.
Installation Recommendations
- Disconnect the battery before working on the electrical connector to avoid shorts and accidental activation.
- Handle the lens carefully to avoid scratches; clean mounting surfaces and replace any perished seals to maintain water tightness.
- Inspect the wiring plug and socket for corrosion; clean contacts or replace connectors if necessary for reliable operation.
- After installation, check and, if needed, replace bulbs with the correct specification for the vehicle variant, and verify beam alignment on a level surface.
- Use appropriate tools and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s access procedure to avoid damaging clips or surrounding trim.
