Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 500 L - Years 2012-2023
Part: Rear light bulb
Operation: How to replace the brake light in a Fiat 500

In this tutorial we are told how to replace the brake light in a 2015 Fiat 500. Obviously, the lights in question are located in the rear lights of the car. First we will have to turn off the car, apply the handbrake and open the tailgate. At this point we will have to remove the headlight by unscrewing the two screws that block it, generally an 8mm Allen key is needed; once the screws have been removed, by levering on the side we will be able to extract the lighthouse, paying attention to the power connector, which we will have to disconnect. Now, as we are shown towards the end of the video, we will have to remove the locking screws above the headlight in order to remove the lamp holder and proceed with replacing it.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
