how to change a mk2 punto bulb

[ryanspunto]

Hi there
I have a blown bulb on my mk2 fiat punto and i cant change it,

This may sound daft but i can change all the others but the pasengers side dipped beam as there is no space to get my hand it due to fuse box

What should i do, should i remove the fuse box or is there a easyer way

Thanks In advance

Ryan

Hi & Welcome here!

See if you can get at it by removing the front wheel on the same side & then removing the wheel arch liner, thats how I did the Stilo & Grande Punto bulbs.

Thanks for your help, however i just changed it by removing the front headlight as it was only 3 screws much easyer than i imagined

Thanks again

If you took the complete unit out, you may need to re-align the beam.

undoing those 3 bolts that hold the headlight on wont help
It's trapped by the bumper
So the bumper would have to come off to get the Light cluster off

There are 3 ways
1 - as above, remove wheel liner arch
2 - release Fuse Box and Move it up - gives a few extra Cm to shimmy around in there
3- Struggle with moving light forward a little

or do 2 and 3 together, as the fuse box is held in with just 3 bolts, soak with WD40 a few times to help loosen, but otherwise should easily come off

if you undo them 3 bolts it gives you enough room to get the bulb out, well it did me anyway
