I bougt a fiat panda 1.2 from 2004 and it came in traffic in late 2005. So in a month or two it has 5 years on the road.

Now to my problem.

I cant get my half-light to work. Here in Sweden its mandatory to have half-light. The things i have tried.

Changed light bulbs, H4 60/55W.
Have taken a look at the fuese and they are okey.
Have taken out the relay's and put them back.

And still no halv light. The full-light work if i pull the leaver.

One pic of it.

can you use a multi-meter to test for voltage at the lamp connector ?

did you fit a new relay or just replace the original one ?

remember you have to have the ignition key in at the start position or have the engine running to get 'half light'

is it switched on at the headlight stalk ?


good luck

Well i cant say that i know what headlight stalk is, "the right translation to Swe"
But if you mean the stick thats is on the left side of the stearing weel.

Here is an image of the stick and what possision its in, well i have tried them all.

unfortunately I can't view your pictures, sorry I can't be of further help

you may have to consult an auto electrician


good luck

BarateaU has his dipped beam lights on, although from reading this thread i dont think i can add any more than panda4x4x4x4 has

I think "half light" means "dipped beam headlamps" (in Sweden you have to drive with your headlights on at all times).

There have been several reports of the light switch breaking and having to be replaced. It sounds like this might be be the problem.

And now (from translate.google.co.uk), in Swedish!

Jag tror att "halv ljus" betyder "Halvljusstrålkastare" (i Sverige måste du köra med ditt lyse på hela tiden).

Det har förekommit flera rapporter om strömbrytaren bryter och med bytas ut. Det låter som detta kan vara vara problemet.

Haha thanks for the nice translation, was very well translated.
But it is the pin switch that fails, then? Someone has opened up the stick that can say how to do the best? Maybe just dirty copper tracks.

Perhaps it is easy to disassemble? Maybe just pull out the part that is the end?
