How to you change the left head light bulb in a Fiat Punto?

Tools and Materials:

- Replacement H7 headlight bulb (check your owner's manual for the specific bulb type required)

- Flathead screwdriver

- Phillips-head screwdriver

Instructions:

1. Park your Fiat Punto on a level surface and turn off the engine.

2. Open the hood: Pull the hood release lever inside your car, then go to the front of the vehicle and lift the hood. Prop it open with the support rod.

3. Locate the headlight bulb cover behind the headlight assembly.

4. Use a flat-head screwdriver to pry open the clips holding the bulb cover in place.

5. Once the bulb cover is removed, you will see the headlight bulb.

6. Disconnect the electrical connector from the headlight bulb by pressing the release tab and pulling the connector straight off the bulb.

7. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to turn the bulb counterclockwise and remove it from the housing.

8. Insert the new headlight bulb into the housing and turn it clockwise until it locks in place.

9. Reconnect the electrical connector to the headlight bulb by pushing it back onto the bulb until you hear a click.

10. Replace the headlight bulb cover and secure it with the clips.

11. Close the hood and you're done!

Tips:

- Be careful not to touch the glass part of the new headlight bulb with your fingers, as this can cause the bulb to burn out prematurely.

- If you have difficulty removing the old headlight bulb, you may need to use a penetrating oil or spray lubricant to loosen the bulb.
