(T) Changing headlight bulbs

Hi has anyone tried to change a bulb in the passenger side headlight. I tried to change one the other day and its near on impossible.

this was discussed ages ago if I remember and someone said I think that Fiat has told the dealers to fit them for free if you bought the bulb from them.

ah! found it, see here chief http://www.fiatforum.com/showthread....ght=stilo+bulb

cmc

Thank you i will call at the dealer tuesday and get it booked in.

Many thanks Stilo8569

I don`t think so, we have had no instruction to fit this bulb FOC, lots of cars have difficult bulbs to fit not just Fiat. You maybe lucky with your dealer but don`t bank on it!

Ned so how much does a dealer charge to do a front bulb & could we do it ourselves?

Cheers

well it should be 0.5hrs max and if the dealer does it without taking off the bumper then you could do it loosen the screws that hold the top of the headlamp in and make the battery free to move bake and slide out the back cover and there you go! Or pay £25ish for them to do it If they want more ask them what is the time on Tempori say this is the listing of factory times for all jobs on all models and i think it says 0.5 but dont qoute me on that.

0.5 hours for a bulb change. That's a lot (not disputing it but it's a bit unfair on the part of Fiat). Call me cynical but I think manufacturers are just maing things more complex to get more money in for dedalers who are working on tight margins as it is.

You may be right,but I think the makers think that thier products last forever so do not need fixing! So dont care how it comes apart.
