Just did wife's 2018 500L. Be very careful removing tail light assembly. I broke the retaining clips for the chrome trim when I removed it. I got it back on hope it stays as this trim piece is expensive.
Thanks for the tip! Pinned your comment so others see it too!
I second this, my left trim got ripped off in a touch car wash so keep that in mind as well 😂
One of mine was broken too when replacing the bulb. Still have the 2 strips of blue tape holding it on. I really need to glue the piece back together and get rid of that blue tape, lol.
@@jannah4288 , I ended up ordering the trim piece. Never grab it to remove the tail lights. I took a round file and enlarged the holes a little bit so tail light goes back in easier.
Thank you dude. I had a brake light go out so i paid a shop to change them both, gave them a pack of 2 bulbs. The guy only changed the one that was out, literally the next day, the other light went out (obviously). Was such a simple process after your video, wish I did it myself from the start.
You're very welcome! It makes me glad you were able to do it yourself! Good work!
Hey that was a perfect video. No fluff, right to the point, everything I needed to know, and just how to do it right. Even the important little details about the pins and whatnot. Excellent video
This is how I want the videos I watch to repair stuff to be! Thanks for the encouraging comment! 😀
The Allen wrench to remove the hex nuts was included in my Fiat 500L just under the rear cargo area along with the tire repair kit.
Precisely what I needed. Chuckleheads at the auto shop wanted $90 to do this.
Edit: make sure you get the right bulb. The bulb for the brake has two connectors at the base and the bulb for the turn signal only has one.
Oh yeah! Good tip! Glad I was able to help you save your hard earned money!
Yep. 1157 won't work. European bulbs have a oval contacts on the base.
@@steveashcraft718 Hard lesson 😆
I could not have replaced the #7528 (4445) Bulb on my wife's 2017 500L without your help! Thanks Brother!!
I'm so glad it helped! Responses like yours are why I made this video!
Great video, thank you. Short and sweet with clear, simple instructions and no-nonsense or background music. Well done.
Thank you, brother! Saved me the repair cost. Moreover, saved me from leaving the car at the dealership. Only one dealership here in Riyadh that can do the work, and they would take days to do something this simple. Funny enough, I replaced the left taillight, turned on the ignition and the "stop" light was still on. Turns out the right one was fried too! Ended up doing both sides. Total cost: 20sr ($5.33)
You're very welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful, and you were able to get everything back in order without spending a fortune! 😀
Thank you for helping me with fix my brake lights!!
@@GmaSage you’re very welcome!
Same make model and year! What coincidence, all thanks to you!
I’m glad it was helpful for you!
Thank you for this. All my previous cars this has been a tool free process. Silly fiat!
You're welcome!
Thank you so much every video i found just showed how to get the bulb out not the whole thing. So nice to have a straight forward video.
You’re very welcome!
@@adampaulsen do you have anymore on the fiat 500L?? A lot of videos for this vehicle are outrageously long or they don't show the process correctly/fully.
@@ScytheSlayer1331 I don’t, but still have the vehicle. What sort of info are you looking for?
@@adampaulsen honestly just anything on the vehicle. Almost every video that i find is drawn out, doesnt explain what you need for the repair or is cut short. Ive been trying to find one on how to properly change the thermostat in mine for months. Every video starts with them talking forever and then they just magically have the thing apart.
Exactly what I was looking for :-) Thank you!
You’re welcome! I’m glad it helped!
Thank you so much! Worked perfectly.
Brilliant. Thank you.
You're quite welcome!
Thanks Adam always appreciative of people that post this helpful stuff so we know what´s ahead
You're quite welcome! Glad it helped you!
Well theres 3 hours gained back in life. And 3 side missions discovering different tools i didnt bring with me to complete the job.
Thank you heaps. excellent instructions!
You’re very welcome! I’m happy you found the instructions helpful!
Thank you SO much. I can’t believe I just did that.
You’re so welcome! Good work!
thx for your help.
@@pascalThomine you’re welcome!
Worked like a charm! Many thanks!
You're welcome! Glad it worked for you!
Worked like a charm and was very easy. Thank you
Saved me a trip to the shop! Thank you!
That’s what this is about! Glad I was able to help!
much needed! thanks!
You’re very welcome!
Brilliant video thank you very much
Glad it helped!
What if when you were removing the bolts with the Alan wrench it dropped inside the car??? How do I get it out lol
Oh no! I'm sorry that happened to you! I'd probably grab a magnet on an extension from the autoparts store and try that!
Thanks. Whilst doing it is there anything that needs to be held, so it doesn't drop down into a crevice etc. Like the Allen bolt??
You'll want to make sure to hold onto those, and the only other thing that you need to be careful with is that small connector that I mentioned when removing the rear lightbulb housing.
Thank you 🙏
Why make it easy when you can make it difficult and cumbersome? The European way, it seems... Thanks for the video - I'll be trying it when the bulbs arrive.
All things considered it's not that difficult, but if you don't have experience with this kind of thing, I can see why it would be intimidating. I hope you were able to get your bulbs changed out! :)
Lifesaver! Thank you so much!!
My pleasure!
Thank you
You’re welcome!
I bought two bulbs, wish me luck
Good luck! I hope you succeeded!
thx!
You’re welcome!
Merci
They really didn't want to make it easy huh
Which is why I made this video. Hope it was helpful for you!
@@adampaulsen it was thank you!
Really dumb design.
Hard to argue with that! :)
