Technical Help idenify this bulb please

[ahealy]

It's the 5W bulb in among the front cluster. It sits below the main lights and comes on with the regular lights. I found a diagram saying it's 5W. Manual says 5W bulbs could be front side lights, side direction indicators, third brake light, number plate or boot light.

Could someone be kind enough to point out the name please. The bulb has gone and needs to be replaced.

Use the Internet! Search, types of bulbs (pictures), symbols etc.
Bulbs are standard types in Punto!

As for manual, try eLearn: https://aftersales.fiat.com/elearnsections/main.aspx?nodeID=3123051&languageID=2&markID=1&modelID=2000003&valID=2000307&prodID=2003009&modelName=Fiat - 188 - Punto Classic&langDesc=English&sectionName=Descrizioni&validityName=1.2 16v

I would have called it a front sidelight bulb, does it only come on when working, if the sidelight position on light stalk set to it's first position.
I suspect it is a 501 type bulb at that age of vehicle, a capless 5 watt, 12 volt all glass bulb that just pushes in to place.

Really? Do we need forums to identify standard bulbs?
Like W5W...

If it's not a standard type, show us the picture of your "mystery bulb"!

Well I don't know if it's a standard bulb or not and the info on the internet was'nt helpful idenifying this particular bulb since i don't even know its name.

If you're going to be THIS unhelpful, what are you doing here? I know why i'm here. I'm trying to fix my car. Why are you here on a forum for an ancient car if you're just going to behave like a bi&ch? Lurking, waiting for those more advanced questions that tickle your brain? Just don't bother replying in a thread if you're going to be provocative and useless. Thanks.

Your thread is useless. If it's so hard to identify, show us the bulb.
Will see, if it's a standard or not...

Yes it comes on with light stalk in first postion. I saw sidelight bulb in manual but I assumed that was the orange one on the side of the car. I'll look up 501 type bulb though and tomorrow i'll see if I can access the bulb and compare to 501. Thanks.

Not "tomorrow", do it NOW. Ten seconds on Google and you'll know if it's a "501" (W5W) or not.

I mean it's literally a special forum for the Fiat Punto Mk2. I thought someone would just know the name of the bulb.

 

[GrandePunto PL]

Nope. If it's a "mystery" part, you show it in the first post. That's how it works here.
If it's a missing part (you can't show it), that's a different story...

Bro, if I want to do it tomorrow, I'll do it tomorrow. Who do you think you are? My wife?

 

[GrandePunto PL]

Yes, this is a "special" forum, for people who cannot use Internet properly (you know, Google and so on), to find/identify standard parts.
I'm the middle man, between you and Google/eBay/eLearn, you name it.

This reminds me a very funny documentary I've seen recently.
