Technical fiat seicento headlight

[notts_1999]

Hi can anyone help? While replacing the O/S fiat headlight bulb. I have noticed the headlight reflector is loose inside. Is there anyway to get it back on its fixings? I've tried pulling it back using the bulb hole. But it just pops back off again when I push the connector back on the bulb. Or is it a new headlight job? Cheers

Welcome.

Its usually a new headlight job, one of the catches will have broken.

Cheers

I've had exactly the same problem with my Cinq headlight:

I bought one second hand headlight on Ebay only to find the same problem. So I bought another second hand unit and that also has a loose reflector

During the Xmas hols I'm going to take one apart and see if I can fix it...

Let me know how you get on with repairing it! Good luck!

Hi, I had the same problem.I managed to bodge it up by using a tie wrap through a slot somwhere near the bulb fixing and then onto the headlight casing. This retains the reflector on the adjusters. Its passed two MOT's with this set up, but I made sure the headlight alignment was as good as possible prior to the test.

Hope this helps, it's certainly cheap compared to new headlights

I have the same problem. Looks that only new headlights will fix it... the plastic catches from the headlight reflector are damaged and do not keep the reflector in place, it just falls off the 3 adjusters.

I was wondering if this little plastic catches can be bought separately? But I doubt that...

Are they any aftermarket headlights for Seicento? Taillights I have found.... front lights never heard about...

 

[rallycinq]

Certainly not in RHD

Cheers

PD

So, is there any way to replace the plastic catches or should I order new headlights (I have found here from 50 euro up to 125 euro from different suppliers)?

I got one of those little white plasic hand shaped things loose inside my headlamp enclosure, expensive.
