How to Replace the Headlights on the Lancia Ypsilon

Model: Lancia Ypsilon MK 3, Y3, Ypsilon 3, 846 - Years 2011-2023
Part: Headlight

Replacing the headlights on the Lancia Ypsilon is not as easy as it seems, as you need to remove the front bumper by taking out the fixing screws on the upper side, those hidden in the wheel arch, and three Torx screws located on the lower side of the front. Unfortunately, if you do not remove the entire bumper, the headlight will not come out, so simply loosening it will not suffice; it must be completely removed. The headlight itself is secured by three screws, and you can find the part on eBay under code 300535624357 for £84.00. Once the headlight is free, disconnect the electrical connector. Remove the bulbs from the old headlight and fit them into the new one, then connect the connector and perform a light test to see if it works. Secure the headlight and then replace the bumper. First, realign it and then tighten all the bolts.

Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
