    Thanks for the very helpful video. Let's be honest; it's not a nice and easy job is it? Real question: why do they keep popping? What's the actual cause?

    • @PulpnPress
      @PulpnPress หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi, if they keep popping, check the connection inside the bulb holder. If there is a bad connection to the bulb, it could contribute to short bulb life.

    Thanks, out of interest, what is the green block below for? Looks like a light fitting of some kind?

    • @PulpnPress
      @PulpnPress 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi, the green socket if for the car’s wiring loom to connect to the light unit. When you remove the front bumper (for other works) you need to disconnect these.

    What would you do if the lock has been tampered with and the original key doesn't even work ??

    • @PulpnPress
      @PulpnPress 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Normally, the key number is visible on the metal plate on the front of the barrel. If this number is the same as the key you have, then the barrel might be damaged internally. At this point, it would be a case of drilling out the barrel. I would recommend only doing this yourself if you are confident.

      Without seeing it, the below would be a total guess. The use of inspection picks with plenty of WD40 could work.

    • @ImpartiallySpeaking
      @ImpartiallySpeaking ปีที่แล้ว

      @@domenicocimino4531 hey thank you. Definitely going to try that. It’s an old series Halford Exodus and the locks are now discontinued so no point drilling it out without a replacement. They say THULE roof boxes almost identical locks but no guarantee so I’ll leave our luggage in the roof box until the retrieval key picks arrive rather than drilling out the old lock. Doesn’t help that it weighs a tonne with a spring operated cover over the lock to stop you from seeing the key but will have a go on Thursday when the key retrieval kit arrives from amazon

      I would recommend checking the terminals inside the bulb holder. If the connection is poor, it will shorten the build life.

      That is a viable option, however you run the risk of breaking the plastic brackets that hold the bumper to the wings, also you will need to remove the fixings holding the wheel arch liners to the bumper.

    Just bought my daughter one of these and want to fit LED bulbs instead of original filament type, anyone know if these cars have a CAN-BUS system? Want to swap the number plate bulbs for LED too.

    • @BlatentlyFakeName
      @BlatentlyFakeName ปีที่แล้ว

      My 2009 Abarth has a can-bus so I'm guessing yes for all the 500 models. I tried LEDs and they did not work, the polarity apparently needs reversing which means re-wiring the lights. Not worth it.

    WARNING: OK I love TH-cam videos like this but sometimes they can lead you astray. I have a Fiat 500L popstar (2015) and there were some differences to that in the video that got me into trouble. 1) inspection flap removal This is secured by two Philips screws. It is confusing as they just seem to keep turning. I found out they are inserted into plastic lugs that widen on tightening. So for removal, they only have to be partially undone before pulling the flap out. 2) rubber cap is the same. 3) It's a different smaller bulb...I tried pulling it out and it shattered leaving some stuck in the fitting. I later found out the correct bulb for this car is smaller and is supplied ALREADY INSERTED INTO THE FITTING so the bulb with the fitting need to be pulled out as one unit. To add insult to injury the bulb I broke seemed to be fine (as in the elements weren't burnt out) and of course, after fitting the new one; no luck. Guess there must be a loose connection somewhere else...

  • @blot100
    @blot100 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've bought a bulb and hit a hurdle at the first step. On my car the access flap (ooer) is held in place with Philips screws not a clip and they have been worn down prob by the previous owner...can't get one out at the moment. (BTW if you have the same a 'stubby' screwdriver is needed due to the wheel being in the way)

  • @blot100

    8:29 I wrecked that part with the emergency jack. The car should NOT have those arrows, it’s completely counter intuitive.

    • @domenicocimino4531
      @domenicocimino4531 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The arrows are indicators where the seam weld areas are strengthened to take the emergency jack. These points are only to be used with the correct emergency jack with the seam in the slot of the jack.

    I've had a nightmare with these bulbs. Trouble is locking the bulb holder back in position after replacing the bulb. I've had bulbs fall inside the light unit and the more you fiddle around with these bulbs the looser they become until they stop working. For the time I've spent on mine these last few days I think I'm going to take the bumper off and take the light off so I can access it easier or perhaps take it to Halfords who fit them for around £8.
