How to Replace the Number Plate Light Bulbs on a Fiat Panda?

Model: Fiat Panda 169, MK 2 - Years 2003-2012
Part: License plate light

This tutorial shows how to replace the number plate light bulbs on a Fiat Panda, a very simple and quick operation. Before proceeding, ensure that the key is not inserted for safety. Start by going to the rear of the vehicle, then open the tailgate and, using a flat-head screwdriver, remove the glass of the light by prying at the side slot. Next, release the old bulb, using the screwdriver if necessary, and insert the replacement in any orientation. Just be sure not to touch the new bulb directly with bare hands, as any residue could cause it to overheat.
