Hi all
Stumbled across the forum and nice to see some other Stilo owners!
I recently got my Active Stilo, but wanna fit the puddle lights into the doors. Got the bulbs however although the lights seem to be connected (i.e with the brown and blue wires) there appears to be no contacts to connect and hold the bulb... any ideas????

Hi mate, Nice to see another Stilo owner from Sunny Bournemouth.

Welcome to the Forum

As for the lights, sorry, I don't have a clue, but i'm sure someone on here will know.

Hi and welcome to the Forum

Out of interest, how exactly did you stumble upon us? Via Google?

Not sure of the lights, even though I had a quick look on ePer http://www.findmyoldcar.com:7080/na...E=3&SB_CODE=-1&SGRP_COD=2&SGS_COD=0&DRW_NUM=2

Hi & welcome! I should imagine that along with the bulbs you also need the actual lenses which attach to the door card.

I was only using ePer to see what/how the part fitted together.

As for ordering from it, you will need to see local Fiat dealer, it is THEIR part's guide after all.

What exactly do you have at the moment, in the space the puddle lights should be?

the puddle lights are there... the WHOLE fitting including the wiring into them.
I figured out (but then saw it written on the casing) that its the W5W bulbs it needs. Picked some up and removed the unit from the door (all red in colour) and opened the unit up to put the bulbs in. However in the holder the contacts/securing fixings are not in either of the door puddle light fittings, so the bulb is in effect not connected to the electrics...
i'm wondering if fiat stopped puttin the bulbs in the basic models??? as puddle lights are usually half white and half red. this begs the question why are they wired up then?

i'd like to have them so if it means ordering the half/half fittings then i will do that..

I thought the more basic models just had a reflector in the place the puddle light sits But yeah just get the lenses from your local dealer.

I've certainly only got reflectors in my doors. Never really concerned me having lights there! 5watts isn't going to illuminate a puddle i already know is there!

Comes in handy for other people to see the car door open in bad light too..
