Had a bump on my way to work , not too major tho.

In need of a n/s headlight and an idea how to get the old one out ?


always had help from this place before and im sure this time wont be no different

Remove front bumper.

Has unit broken, or just the mounting brackets?

If just the brackets then get a bracket kit from Fiat. About £10-£15 iirc and work really well!

Part number is on here somewhere if you do a search

 

[magicmikey]

well the glass/plastic has smashed and its moved back a fair bit

so the mounts may be broken too?

how long am i looking at to get a bumper off?

 

[Most Easterly Pandas]

Bumper for a novice, 30-40min.

Sound like new headlamp is needed

 

[magicmikey]

is there a guide

and do i unplug the battery to change a headlight?

There's often headlamps on eBay.

Be sure you get the correct one for your car. 3 and 5 door headlamps are different. Some have an integrated foglamp, some don't. There's also a gas discharge version.
