The side light bulbs on a Grande Punto are quite easy to change. The headlight bulbs should be OK to do too...

The tail lights require you to take off the clusters though, which is fucking stupidity!

Doubt that.. How is a smashed headlight a warranty job?

Took me an hour and a half to change the headlight bulb in my g/fs streetka. I'm never working on that car again. Had to Duck tape the back cover back on cause the shitty clip broke.
