Replacement of Front Headlight and Position Light Bulbs

Model: Fiat Punto MK 2, 188 - Years 1999-2011
Part: Headlight bulb

Replacing the bulbs is an easy task, just pay a little attention. Remove the protective cover of the light assembly by taking off the two side retaining springs. Locate the faulty bulb and remove the retaining spring of the bulb holder by taking it out of the headlight. To replace the bulb, press it slightly downwards and turn it a few degrees anti-clockwise until the two clips release, then pull it out of the holder. Take a new bulb with the same specifications and insert it into the bulb holder, aligning the two references, press it slightly downwards and turn it clockwise until it locks. Refit the bulb holder into the headlight, ensuring the reference notch is aligned, and reposition the retaining spring. For the position light, pull it out of its housing by pressing the two plastic clips and pulling it towards you. Replace the bulb using the same procedure. After replacement, simply push the bulb back into the headlight until the clips snap into place. Always use bulbs of the same type for replacements; you will find the wattage and model written on the metal body of the bulb.
