Fiat 290 front light bulb change (1 Viewer)

[Jimbo50]

Hi all
Has anyone had cause to replace any front bulbs on Fiat 290 series. Hopefull going over to France for first time in MH early June. Will be carrying spare set but not sure if one should blow that I see how to change it.
Thanks in anticipation of any help.

I think you still have to carry the spare lamp set, but I'm not too sure that you actually need to be able to change them yourself, as some modern vehicles require a couple of hours in a garage to do the job and modern Hid setups encounter some frighteningly high voltages that could be dangerous for the uninitiated.

Thanks jockaneezer. Will have bulb set with me and hope not to have to be involved with trying to change one.

Always glad to be of help, and here is a video from Fiat Professional on how to do it.

Easy, peasy

Brilliant link 'pyro'. Much appreciated. I'm sure you'd appreciate doing something on a new and strange vehicle can be daunting and not wanting to damage anything especially being away from home.

Thanks. Not being very mechanically competent, I had a hell of a time on day 3 of my ownership of my own M/H when I blew a fuse putting in the radio. It was an engine bay fuse, and I just couldn't get at the fusebox. Took me a bit of googling to find out that to do almost anything, you had to take out one of the headlight. That's what the funny screwdriver in the emergency kit was for. No mention of that in the manual, and yet it was dead easy

I'm still no expert, but I have seen how helpful people are here, and I have learned to ask first and not be ashamed of my ignorance. In return, I try to help out a bit with some of the legal issues that seem to crop up, in that way I can try to give something back

Good luck with the new van

Many thanks again 'pyro' We're really looking forward to our new ventures with the MH this year, both at home and in Europe.
