Replacing the Front Headlight Bulbs

Model: Fiat Punto MK 2, 188 - Years 1999-2011
Part: Headlight bulb

The difficulty of accessing the headlight bulbs for replacement in modern cars often drives many motorists to seek help from an auto electrician.

In this video, you will see how to do it yourself on a Fiat Punto. The first problem you encounter, once you open the bonnet, is that the distance between the headlights and the rear fuse box is too small to work in. Therefore, you must loosen the screws holding the headlight units and pull them forward.

This way, you create the space needed to remove the protective cover, open the retaining clips, and reach in to replace the bulbs.
