How to Replace the Cigarette Lighter Bulb in a Fiat Grande Punto

Model: Fiat Punto MK 3, Punto EVO, 199, Grandepunto - Years 2005-2018
Part: Cigarette lighter

When the vehicle lights are turned on, the dashboard, instrument panel, and the trim at the base of the cigarette lighter, located just behind the gear lever on the central tunnel cover, will also illuminate. It may happen that the bulb illuminating the cigarette lighter gets damaged and needs to be replaced. The bulb is housed in a lamp holder connected to the side of the cigarette lighter and is a glass type (T5 fitting). To replace it, detach the leather cover from the gear lever by simply pulling the trim at the base. At this point, disconnect the lamp holder and replace the bulb.
