Dont buy a FIAT (Fix It Again Tony)





Headlight bulb replacement on my Fiat Stilo Multiwaggon....


....no really! Headlight bulb replacement involves removing the wheel, wheel arch cowling, dropping the bumper and even loosening a bolt in the front wing. In total 18 bolts and screws in four different sizes, and all to put in a single new bulb. Now I generally like tinkering with cars and if this was in some sunny plaza in Rome outside a cafe with an espresso then it would have been an enjoyable experience, on a winters day in Aberdeen however its was a different matter.

Ciao!

  1. sorry mate, but i replace the bulb without removing wheel. just remove the battery cover and that's all. of course it is possible only with small/medium hands ;)

  2. Actually, you can replace the bulb without removing anything if you know its location. Just use your hand to find its location and replace it. It may be a bit difficult at first but you'll get used to it because those bulbs burn so often...
