Review on πŸ’‘ Hella 2721TB Twin Blister Standard Miniature 2721 Bulbs, 12V, 1.2W, 2 Pack - Reliable and Efficient Lighting Solution by Russell Wong

Revainrating 5 out of 5

suitable for Fiat 500 climate control panel lighting

Despite Revain's automatic warning that they won't work on the Fiat 500 (guess the algorithm, I'm buying headlights?), these bulbs worked great as a replacement for the burned backlights on my AC (temp/fan speed/convection -/ventilation controls on the center console). I have an American Fiat 500c from 2012, but according to the forums it works with other models/years as well. It takes about 15 minutes to install all the above items. Installation Tips: 1) Rotate all dials all the way left or right before starting to avoid losing dial alignment. 2) Easily pry off the panel cover with the dials, but it takes more force than I expected. A soft screwdriver will help (after that the panel will snap in easily) 3) Use tweezers/pliers and pull the old headlight straight out, don't try to pinch the plastic tabs next to it (light gray on my black car; one tab broke when I tried it and I had to somehow jam the headlight housing with a rock, oops) 4) Hold the spare light firmly with tweezers/pliers while pressing it in place, I dropped one in the housing. on the underside of the center console and had to order a second set (oh, too) 5) It's a good idea to replace both if one burns out so the second doesn't burn out after you put everything back together

Pros
  • HELLA small bulbs are manufactured to exact lighting requirements and are suitable for a large number of brake lights, brake lights, indicators and reversing lights.
Cons
  • Nothing here
