General Free Headlight Change by Fiat

[fredstilo]

Hello

Got a light out in the headlights. (side light I think)

Talking to an ex coupe owner he says he heard that Fiat will replace your bulbs for free?

Is it true?

 

[coyle]

they told me they'd charge 30mins labour which is £30

so i dont think its true no

We only got charged for the bulb (which was a rip-off at a tenner). However, the car was in for quite a lot of other stuff as well.

We got a bulb replaced, an entire headlight unit replaced (the alignment motor had gone), a new drive shaft, two wheel centres for alloys, new brake pads on the back, an oil leak checked (not nothing found), an engine warning light investigated (again nothing found), and the timing belt done.

Not bad for a car we've only had for 11 months.

If you bought it used no-one but the previous owner / s will know how much abuse it suffered in its previous life.

Caveat Emptor remember...

I tried this but Fiat couldnt fit me in - try a local nationwide autocentre, they did mine for a fiver (price of the bulb)...

Ok thanks

Might try nationwide i think.

I dont really want to take the front off or do it in the rain in the dark lol.

Thanks fellas

You don't need to take anything off for changing main headlights. Right bulb is easy to change, left little tricky, but all you need to remove is cover of battery.
