The steps to replace the bulbs in the rear light clusters start with opening the boot lid. Next, to work more easily, remove the parcel shelf. As you can see in the video, you need to remove the cover caps that hide the screws securing the rear pillar trims, which are 17mm hex screws.

In the boot, move the trim and unscrew the other bolts. Now you can gently remove the entire rear light cluster and disconnect the power connectors.

Using a cross screwdriver, unscrew the screws securing the lens to finally access the bulbs, then replace the faulty ones and reattach the lens. Reinsert the light unit back into its housing, remembering to connect the plugs, and re-screw the securing screws to the bodywork.

Thanks to this video, you can repair the lights on your Fiat Punto in under 5 minutes.
