I bought about a month a used fiat 500, 2008 make, 1.2 Lounge.

The only problem that I have at this moment is the lights on the AC when you turn on the head lights at night. ( I have the regular AC, not the optional Climate control)

The exact problem is on the 2 knobs on the left (the air recycle knob and air distribution knob)
They don't have any light & at night it's really hard to see the options while driving.
I already took it to a car electrician but he seems that he made a bad job. 1st still the lights r out and 2nd the panel there doesn't seem to sit right anymore .

Is there any information or guide to make sure that it will fit properly again?

Thank u.

We have a small guides section (still growing) and Turtle has kindly posted instructions for how to do just this, see link below.

RUI also did a video which will also show how to remove the panel.

And, following these excellent links, I did the self same job on my 500, and posted my findings. I also gave the bulb reference and wattage. A very easy diy job.
I agree, it's v. hard to read the panel in the dark without those lights.
