Both of them? They do suffer from bad bulb holders but it's odd that this is coincident with the bumper removal - you didn't accidentally drop the weight of the bumper on the cables? I did, and they break really easily! Sorry I can't help with the fuse and would have to refer to the manual which is available on the FIAT site (on line) if you don't have the printed version.
yes both led drl not working, supplied by one connection (multiplug),, i was careful when removing bumper but maybe not careful enough,,thanks for reply
Thanks for that info,mot getting done next week

LED - so a Cross? Makes my bulb holder comment irrelevant.
My bad; I didn't read your original post carefully enough!
Sounds like an Earth wire may have been left off - there’s few bolted to the front ‘chassis rail’ which may have to be removed when getting to the suspension arm?
My 2013 got annoying with a melted bulb holder pinging the dash warning weekly,
Turned DRL function off in menu,
Not been mentioned for 2 x MOT'S
Some garage, 2 different testers
Even if you hadn't turned them off and only one was working, it would still have been a pass on a 2013 car.Turned DRL function off in menu,

Once the regulations changed, and it became a mandatory roadworthiness requirement to have working DRL's, Fiat removed the option of turning them off in the menu.
I didn’t think DRL switching was an option in the Panda menu system. It is in the 500 and maybe other models too, but never seen the option in my Pandas (first was old 169 so didn’t have them. But replaced with 2012 model, and by 2017 and 2018 since)My 2013 got annoying with a melted bulb holder pinging the dash warning weekly,

That "2013" is a Punto,
Never tried in the old 63 reg panda..
The festoon bulbs for the Numberplate often pinged the "bulb-out" warning on that..
Doubt if 10 years of production have fixed that..

I just replaced a DRL on my 2014 Panda Trekking - which I was able to do through an access panel in the wing liner!
Anyway, fitted new unit a it didn't work. Check plug to bulb holder and as others indicate the centre contact was slightly blackened, so poor contact. Gently tweak of the pin , spray of contact cleaner and refitted, it came on but flickered. So another tweak & all good - it's now trhee weeks since and still fine.
