Anyone know how to change the front indicator bulbs in a 500 that has factory xenon headlights.
Do you have to have the headlight out to do it.

Many Thanks

I considered not being "that guy", so forgive me for being "that guy" but Philips DiamondVison are not road legal in the UK, or in the EU for that matter if you're outside the UK. They basically trick your brain into thinking they are brighter when they are not, and are actually dimmer.

*Just checked to make sure I was right and not only are the not legal in the EU but also not in the US either. They create an effect of brightness because they are very white and are considered for show use only and are dangerous for road use.

Might sound like a dumb question but how do you replace your high beams?

Got the door off but not able to get the green connection to come off?

Apologies if I'm in the wrong place...I'm trying to decide on headlight bulbs for a new Competizione, whether to go for the standard headlights and then possibly upgrade to LEDs (if possible) or just go for the xenons. My doubts about xenons would be  - how long do they last on mainly bumpy roads, the expense of replacing the bulbs and the lack of control over the height adjustment.  If anyone has any thoughts, advice or experience I would be very grateful, thanks.

Retrofit LEDs (& HIDs) are illegal. OEM Xenon systems are very reliable and almost never fail. So if you want decent lights, spec Xenons from new.

Just to add to what's already been said above the Xenon's are self levelling. My car is lowered on coilovers and I've not had any issues with the beam being too high etc

Since I could get the connector off I decided to take it in to Fiat to have them exchange but the morons at Fiat told me that it is not H1 in high beam but H7

Please show me an official FIAT document or web that states this, I'm also very surprised that there is no mention in the owners manual of what bulb to use?
