Grande Punto Abarth Headlight question

[2004jbrown]

I've seen these Abarth headlights for sale on ebay and I've tried to do a compatibility check on the spec of my car which is a 2006 Grande Punto 1.9 D Multijet and it says they are NOT compatible. Any ideas why as it says 06-10 in the listing title.

There are two versions of the punto headlights. These are usually referred to as series 1 (your car registered in 2006 will be a series 1) and series 2 for later models.

Looking at the ebay listing it appears they have listed this as only compatible with abarth puntos which is not true. The abarth headlights will fit a fiat punto but you need to get the series right

If your keen to get these headlights contact them. Ask them if they are series one or series two headlights. If they dont know then I would walk away and look elsewhere. Some people know more about this than me, There are a few threads on here about abarth headlights that should help a bit more.

Also partsworld were selling these cheap at one point. not sure if they still do though and their site is down for updates at the mo

I've just bought Abarth headlights for mine, a series 2. The only electrical difference that I know of between all of the headlights is the number of holes in the connector for the self-levelling motor.

Series 1 (Yours, most likely):
- 7-Pin, 14-hole plug.

Series 2:
- 7-Pin, 8-hole plug.

Apart from that, I believe the fittings, bulbs and their respective holders are exactly the same. I'd just check your plugs to be on the safe side before ordering mate, then buy headlights with the right number of holes for your car
