Good that you used the standard tool kit, I got mine out of a scrappy complete with jack and space saver for £10 - way better than the squirty can!

If they give you the tools then use them, especially useful if you blow a bulb halfway through a journey miles from your tool box

Many thanks, I'd started to go about it all the wrong way - I could have ended up half dismantling the car! One complication though, our 2000 Punto ELX has a large plastic speaker box on the left hand side of the boot blocking access to the lower nut but managed by taking out a fixing screw just below the boot mat and then pulling the speaker out by two or three inches.

Was wondering why I only had one fog light, thanks for the detailed diagram

@tomasmalin 9 жыл бұрын

Many cars have one fog light (even if there's enough space for 2) so it's less similar to brake lights. And it's cheaper of course.

great vid man thanks!! i am thinking about changing the simple light bulbs, with led light bulbs!! is it possible??

@PuntoHowto 10 жыл бұрын

these would likely cause errors with the bulb failure module so you would forever have a warning light on your dash. but yes it can be done

@Patilikas11 10 жыл бұрын

PuntoHowto thanks man! i have the older punto (as u can see in my thumbnail) and i don't get errors if a light bulb gone off, so i guess it 'll be cool with leds!!

@PuntoHowto 10 жыл бұрын

Thats cool then ! just make sure you get food quality bulbs with LEDs getting the brightness right is important, as you don't want people blinded by your tail lights and unable to see your brake lights make sure there is a good difference in power between the two

PuntoHowto yeah sure of course i don't want to blind people with my tail lights just wanna make it looks cool that's all! thanks for the advice!! ;)

@PuntoHowto 9 жыл бұрын

M-Sufi-Sufi -Sufi you would need to cut it out and solder in a new plug with wiring its a common occurrence so fiat might do a replacement in their parts department

Do you have a way on how to change tail light bulb on mk 1 model from 1997?

@PuntoHowto 6 жыл бұрын

I did have a mk1 punto in about 2005, I seem to remember, that despite being a different car the process for changing the back light bulbs was largely the same, obviously some differences in the layout of things because of the different designs.

If the brake light bulbs are all ok and the correct wattage. Then it’s likely to be a bad earth which I have done a separate video about

I watched this because I have moisture inside the light unit - what's the cause of this?

@PuntoHowto 10 жыл бұрын

most likely the seal between the light and the piece that holds the bulbs has gone and is letting in moisture, take it all apart clean the seal and dry out the light and you might find its ok after that
