How to Install a LED Strip in the Cup Holder of a Fiat Punto Evo

Model: Fiat Punto MK 3, Punto EVO, 199, Grandepunto - Years 2005-2018
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, see how to install a LED strip in the cup holder of a Fiat Punto Evo: some basic electronic knowledge is needed, but it’s not difficult. You can obtain the LED strip from any e-commerce site for a few pounds, as well as a roll of 0.50mm red and black wire, connectors, and heat shrink tubing. Join the black and red wires from the roll to the wires of the LED strip with a small soldering, and use the heat shrink tubing. You will need about forty centimetres of wire, stripping the ends to attach the connectors. Position the strip in place (you will need to remove the panel), where you will find a bolt for the ground connection. Run the wire and connect the positive wire; lift the gear lever gaiter and connect it to the cigarette lighter. Check if it works; it should light up when the position lights are on, so that’s good!

How to Open the Bonnet on the Lancia Y

To open the bonnet on this vehicle, follow these simple instructions: first, open the driver's door and locate the lever positioned just below the dashboard, marked with an image of the vehicle with the bonnet open. Pull this lever towards you until you hear a "click" indicating the bonnet is released. Next, exit the cabin and stand in front of the bonnet to disengage the safety catch and complete the opening. To do this, slightly lift the bonnet, locate the yellow lever underneath, and pull it to the left to fully release and open the bonnet.
