Hi welcome to Fiat Forum,
Is it both front and rear lights that are not working or just one?
Most likey cause is corrosion in the light cluster or the mating plug. This can be checked visually. Do you have a multimeter to make further checks?

What he said
If all the other lights in the clusters work - id decline checking the earth as they all use it

So id be checking where there is power

right checked all the light just noticed my rear window break light only as 3 light work out of 5 would that make bulb warning light on the dash i assume it would but thought id ask :bang:

I dont think the high level light is monitored by the bulb malfunction

There simple 5w wedge bulbs like the front side lights
Easy fix to get full brightness back

As for the 1 side light not working
Is going to a feed issue

Id advise spraying the connectors with wd40, and fitting / removing a dozen times

As they may be a simple connection issue, if this dont work itll requires further diagnosis
