Peugeot 308: Changing a bulb

In some weather conditions (e.g. low temperature or humidity), misting on the internal surface of the glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear after the lamps have been on for a few minutes.

The headlamps have polycarbonate lenses with a protective coating:

- Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive cloth, nor with detergent or solvent products.

- Use a sponge and soapy water or a pH neutral product.

- When using a high-pressure washer on persistent marks, do not keep the lance directed towards the headlamps, lamps or their edges for too long, so as not to damage their protective coating and seals.

Light-emitting diode (LED) headlamps and lamps

Depending on version, the affected types of headlamps/lamps are:

- LED technology headlamps.

- Peugeot Matrix LED Technology 2.0 headlamps.

- Offset daytime running lamps/sidelamps/ direction indicators.

- Direction indicator side repeaters.

- Side spotlamps.

- Full LED technology rear lamps.

- LED technology rear lamps.

- Brake lamps.

- Third brake lamp.

- Number plate lamps.
