Video tutorial

In this video, we will see how to change the backlight bulbs of the Fiat Panda: they are T5 bulbs with 2 Watts. First, we need to lock all the knobs either to the right or to the left, so as not to lose the adjustment; then we detach the panel with plastic levers, in order to remove the clips.

This way, the knobs will also come off in pairs. To handle the bulbs, we use masking tape, so as not to touch them with our hands, also because they are very thin and delicate: to insert them, a light pressure is enough.

We check if they work and reassemble the knobs, after which we can push the dashboard back to its original position, and that's it.
