Replace Headlight Bulbs on a Fiat Panda

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

Are the headlight bulbs on your Panda damaged? Not lighting up anymore? Here's how to change them. Open the bonnet by pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard and secure it with the prop rod. Locate the headlight inspection cap and detach it from the back (large plastic cap). Once here, you will find the bulbs with metal clips; pull the bulb holders out of the headlight and extract the damaged bulbs using a screwdriver. Fit the new bulbs (always the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holder back into the headlight housing. Start the vehicle with the key and test the lights on the Panda.
