On those rectangular spots the guards are held on by the 2 screws that hold the spots together.

mine just clip on?????
I'd have a word with your local halfrauds, they CAN order them.

Forgive me if I'm missing the point here, but no Pandas left the factory with their lights fed through relays. 
All the wiring diagrams I have show the lights taking their feed straight from the switch.
I always had the switch problem on mine, and did fit a relay to cure it, but it wasn't standard.
If you keep burning out switches, It'll be because of weak contact springs in the switch, or too much load on the circuit.
The only relay in the lighting circuit (if any) would be the one that bypasses the dim-dip resistor when you put 'full dip' headlights on, and changing that won't help.

The relay fitted operates the headlamps. It is the headlamps and their accosiated relay https://www.fiatforum.com/panda-classic/157313-bright-idea-2.html?p=1671010 that is causeing the burnout's and not the dim-dipped. This is due to the fact that there are 4 pins/connectors. 2 for dim-dipped and 2 for the headlamp relay. And it is only the two (or one of the two) for the headlamp relay that always seems to burn out.
After having these make shift switches fitted for a week I still haven't managed to concour if the same event hasn't yet occoured for the burnout to happen, or if these switches are just that slight bit more 'heavy duty' for the job.

Are they ring spots Jon ?
If so pairs of stoneguards can be ordered from your friendly local Halfrauds.
Yep, they are the Ring one's Trev, it did say one the box about the stonegards being an optional extra, and didn't really think much about them, but I really do like the look from the pic you've added
Jon.
Those spots were a ruddy nightmare in that configuration, there was about 1/2 cm between the lights, and getting a spanner in to tighten the nuts up under the bull bar is a job for the Krypton Factor !!!
the outer lights were spots (100w oops), the inners were fogs (55w), add the headlights and them selfish sods who leave full beam on soon get the message:devil:
At least you won't need to add leccy tape to try and prevent turning the lamps into mini ponds
Oh,
Last time I saw slippers like that 'care in the community' was mentioned

Of course the crying shame is that the Tennyson Trail is now closed (unless you are a taxi or blue badge holder).
Imagine your Sisley where these pics were taken - the trail goes along the spine of the island.

I'm having trouble finding the right diagram, but this is close enough to make the point:

Hi Sparky.
As Petel asks, is this for the mk1 Panda's or the mk2's?
I don't recall a relay being present for dim-dipped, but haven't really looked. iirc removing the headlamp relay still allows the dim-dipped to function
The point I'm trying to get at it that the pin's that burn out
are the circuit to the headlamp relay. Meaning it's something in that circuit thats causing it and not in the headlamp circuit which is the other side of the relay and indipendant to the switch circuit, Right?

Got the 3rd brake light from Fiat finally fitted. A bit thanks for Petel for all the individual part numbers I needed to order it

Like that alot............Easy to wire up??

Really easy. The hardest part was getting the wiring run through the boot to bodywork tube thing :bang:
But got there in the end. lol.
