Do you want to change the front headlight bulbs on a Fiat 500? Follow these steps for the replacement. Open the bonnet by pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard and secure it. Locate the inspection cap of the headlight (at the rear of the headlight) and remove it. Pull out the damaged bulbs using a screwdriver.
