If your Fiat Punto is a bit old, it may be that your headlights are not shining as brightly anymore, and the problem may not be the bulbs but the connectors that are now burnt and corroded. The best thing you can do is to change them, and in this video, you will see how to do it. First, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to ensure you don’t get any annoying "shocks" while working.

Cut the wires, get some heat-shrink tubing (if you want to do a good job) or insulating tape, then solder the new connectors to the electrical wire, protect it with tape (or tubing), and you can reattach the bulb holder. Now the bulb will shine brightly, as it was previously losing power due to the damaged connector.
