Fault in the lighting on 2004 Citroen C2: Warning light comes on

Warning light in the speedometer of the vehicle

Error in the lighting

Hey guys, I currently have problems with my 2004 Citroen C2 with gasoline engine and mileage of 73243 KM. When driving there is a fault in the lights and the warning light in the speedometer comes on frequently. I suspect that the glow agent may be defective. Has anyone had similar experiences and any tips on how I should proceed? My last visit to the mechanic didn't go so smoothly and I would like to get more opinions before I go back to the workshop. I would really appreciate your help!

Hi buddy, I had a similar problem with my 2002 Citroen C3. The main problem was the headlight control unit and not the glow agent. It was a real pain and took a lot of diagnostic time in the garage to find out. In the end, the control unit had to be replaced. It was a serious problem, as the lighting is essential and you have to be able to rely on it. As far as I know, this is not uncommon with these models. So you'd better get it checked before you blindly swap to incandescent. Hope I could help!

Hey, that sounds really annoying, thanks for sharing your experience with us. I'm wondering now, do you remember how much you ended up paying to get it fixed? Or have there been any other related problems since then? I hope we can get this sorted on the C2. Thanks for your help!

Hi, yes, the repair was really a bit expensive, I can tell you. I paid around €630 for the headlight control unit. But luckily the problem was solved after that. The defective glow agent, which was initially suspected, was no longer an issue after the visit to the mechanic. Nothing has happened since then, neither with the lighting nor anything else in that direction. Hope it goes just as smoothly with your C2. All the best with it, buddy!

Thank you very much for your advice! It's really good to hear that your problem was solved after replacing the ECU. Seems like I now have a clearer idea of what to expect. I care a lot about my C2, so I want to make sure she's in good hands. I just hope the cost to me is what you said it would be. Thanks again, this has helped a lot. I'll keep you all posted on how it goes!
