Today we will explain how to replace the rear headlight bulbs of the Fiat Panda model 2. To replace the bulbs, we need to open the trunk and unscrew the external fixing screws of the headlight using a 10mm socket wrench. The headlight is held by plastic joints, so to avoid damaging both the headlight and the bodywork, we insert a cloth between them.

We use a medium flat-head screwdriver to pry and remove the headlight. Disconnect the connector to completely remove the headlight and use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the screws on the bulb support plate in order to replace them.

Once the bulbs are replaced, we lock the plate onto the headlight by screwing the screws, reconnect the connector, and insert the headlight back into its housing. Push the headlight in and use a 10mm socket wrench to screw the three external screws to secure the headlight.

Turn on the vehicle lights to test the operation of the bulbs.
