Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
New day time running lights for Arnie Abarth ..... Nice!
Models of the Abarth 595, you will need to remove the front bumper to access and replace the fog lights. Here’s a general guide on how to do this:
Tools Needed:
A set of screwdrivers (Phillips and flathead)
Torx screwdriver set
Socket wrench set
Trim removal tools (optional)
Replacement fog light bulbs
Gloves
Steps:
Prepare the Car:
Park the car on a flat surface.
Turn off the engine and ensure the lights are off.
If you have a jack and jack stands, it might be easier to lift the front of the car for better access.
Open the Hood:
Open the hood to access the top screws or clips holding the bumper.
Remove the Undertray and Wheel Arch Liners:
If present, remove the undertray by unscrewing or unclipping it from beneath the bumper.
Remove the wheel arch liners or loosen them enough to access the screws or bolts behind them. You might need to turn the wheels to gain better access.
Remove Screws and Clips:
Locate and remove all screws and clips that are securing the bumper. This typically includes screws along the top edge under the hood, screws or bolts in the wheel arches, and screws or clips underneath the bumper.
Detach the Bumper:
Carefully pull the bumper away from the car. It may still be connected by wiring for fog lights or sensors, so be gentle.
Disconnect any electrical connectors for fog lights, parking sensors, or other components attached to the bumper.
Access and Replace Fog Lights:
With the bumper removed, you can now easily access the fog light housings.
Remove the old fog light bulbs by twisting them counterclockwise.
Insert the new bulbs, ensuring they are securely in place.
Reattach the Bumper:
Reconnect any electrical connectors that were detached.
Carefully align the bumper back into position.
Secure the bumper by reinserting and tightening all screws, bolts, and clips that were removed.
Reattach the Undertray and Wheel Arch Liners:
Reattach or tighten the undertray and wheel arch liners.
Test the Fog Lights:
Turn on the car and test the new fog lights to ensure they are working correctly.
Close the Hood:
Close the hood securely.
Additional Tips:
Consult the Manual: Refer to your Abarth 595 owner’s manual for specific instructions and illustrations.
Work with a Friend: Having an extra pair of hands can help with aligning and securing the bumper.
Take Photos: Consider taking photos during the disassembly process to help with reassembly.
If you’re not comfortable performing this task yourself, consider seeking assistance from a professional mechanic or visiting an authorized service center.

The lights we got from Fabio Fabio Abarth via Facebook never worked, the replacements never turned up, so on those I cannot tell you :(. the ones we got from Abarth tuning, are just daytime lights, no amber.
What on earth are you doing you do not need to take bumper off to change a bulb lol hatches in arch wheel wow 😂😂😂😂😂😂
