General Daytime Running Bulb Holder

[Jambalini]

Does anyone happen to have any broken Fiat 500 DRL's that they could take the bulb holders off, to help me out fixing my daughters car. This seems to be a common ask from what I now see. thanks, Andy

The Younger Mrs S. also has ropey bulb holders.. so I'm always looking out for new bulb-holders.

The eBay generic "T20 bulb holders" are bigger and different to the Fiat ones and don't look like they will fit.. although I bought one just to try.

You never know.. I'll post a link if I find any that work, but I'm not hopeful. We needs specific replicas of the Fiat ones.

I ended up buying a whole light unit from eBay, wasn't the right side but that didn't matter. Got both bulb holders (DRL + H1) bulbs and the light unit rubber cover, all for £24 posted, quite happy with that.

That was lucky, I can't find any, let alone any for as good a price as that.

Hi guys newbie here but with 2 daughters both with Fiat 500’s may be spending some time here lol
I’m just changing the daytime running light bulb on 2013 model - bad enough having to take wheel off to get at it but can anyone suggest a source for new bulb holder - this one seems to have melted/become brittle and virtually dropped to bits!! Euro car parts say is main dealer part and Fiat only sell whole unit!! Saw a thread on here prior to registering but now can’t find it any help muchly appreciated

I have a 2012 Fiat 500 with the same problem. Did not know I could turn these lights off (scroll through the dash MENU) Wish I had known about that years ago, I would have turned them on/off so they wouldn't get too hot and melt. Anyway someone on the forum suggested e-bay motors to find the part. I looked and there it was. Pretty pricey, but it's there. You are lucky that you can do your own work. Me, I have to find a mechanic who will work on a Fiat. Good Luck! Linda
