Model: Fiat Panda 169, MK 2 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Instrument panel light

This video tutorial explains how to replace the dashboard lights not only in the Fiat Panda but in many cars on the road, making it useful for many. Start by disconnecting the battery cables for safety, then proceed to unscrew the lower locking pins of the dashboard, removing the panel under the steering wheel, which is also bolted. Once this is done, remove the entire central dashboard panel, where the air conditioning knobs are located, followed by the trim and plastics of the instrument cluster, some of which are bolted and some are clipped, so remove them by pulling with your hands. Now, when you reach the light panel, simply replace the bulbs of your choice.
