Dipped headlights: how to install the repair kit on the Fiat Panda 169.

Model: Fiat Panda 169, MK 2 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Headlight

On the Fiat Panda 169, the restoration of the low beam headlights using a repair kit is performed with the vehicle turned off and safely. From the back of the headlight, the access cover is removed, and the work area is cleared. The lamp connector is disengaged, and the relevant clip/support is loosened, then the worn component is extracted. At this point, the elements of the kit are presented and positioned in the designated housings; the hardware is tightened evenly, avoiding putting stress on the plastics. Before closing, the lamp (if applicable) is reinstalled, and the correct locking of the support is checked; the connector is reconnected, the rear cover is restored, and the operation of the low beam is checked with the ignition on. Finally, if necessary, the beam is checked on a wall to assess any vertical adjustment of the headlight.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
