   It'll be seized in. Pair of pliers to grip it might help but be warned you may need a new base from citroen (Only a few quid)

    piece of piss. Pop the interior light out, unscrew the nut, done. Now the important bit: put a good amount of silicone glue before putting it back in to avoid any leaks.
