How to Fix the Third Brake Light on the Fiat 500

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2024
Part:

Here’s how to change the bulb of the third brake light on a Fiat 500: Open the tailgate, locate the two plastic caps on the inner trim near the third brake light, and remove them. Underneath, you will find two cross-head screws that you will unscrew; detach the trim and pull it downwards. Once exposed, the third brake light is secured with two screws and an electrical connector: unscrew the screws and disconnect the connector, and you will see that the third brake light contains two W5W or 501 type bayonet bulbs; rotate them counter-clockwise and pull them out. Replace them and reassemble everything: screw in the two screws, reconnect the connector, reposition the trim, replace the two caps, and cover them with the plastic caps. That’s it.
