I own a Fiat Stilo JTD. 2002 Model with the oblong rap around head light
cluster.

I have a near/side Front side bulb out, but try as I might I cannot get
at the bulb holder. The workshop manual shows how to do the job with nice
drawings of the head light unit on the bench, as far as I can see this is
not possible with the head light unit in situ.

Can any one tell me how this job is done. Please.

Mike Steward.

Quite a lot of comments in the thread, most saying it's a pain in the
arse. Some seem to suggest removing the bumper, crap design
puts you off some cars, drawing office in sunny Italy never gets its hands
dirty having to do the job in freezing UK.

If you don't want to remove the front bumper you can try to reach the
headlightunit through the wheelarch. You'll have to remove the mudshield
but after you've done that you can reach the headlightunit.
But it's still a small operation anyway. Lots of success!
