Fiat 500e - Modified - episode # 27 

Thanks! Glad you like them.

Well, what's stopping you? Do it! 😀

The Evolving World I could never find those inserts 😡. Where did you go to find them, and thanks for all the videos.

@@patrickmike2524 Yes, that is the hardest part even with part #'s. Try Speedmotive.

kupiłeś, zrobiłeś takie światła tylne do 500e?

Maker's rule. Make them.

That's because there's no hitch! Check out the rear fog light video. 🙂

@@theevolvingworld Rats! I wanted a 2" receiver for my luggage carrier/bike rack and thats what I thought you had. I know I can use 2" to 1.25" adapter, but thats not ideal. Enjoying your mods-keep them coming !

Thanks.🙂

Thanks. Backup Camera is planned. I have no issues with the factory stereo.

We're back from 28 days in Hawaii. Yes, we like & use amber for all turn signals. No, no plans to do LED on this CANbus equipped car, other than what has already been done.

The three wires that connect to the new harness (which connects directly to your car). One wire goes directly to the reverse.

Yes, since the reverse is added at the turn signal lenses location, it was the easiest to wire using the splice connectors to the harness. All the others were soldered from harness wire directly to the steel bars that hold the bulbs in.

Thanks. They are NOT designed to fit U.S. cars. Either way, the reverse light is still separate in the bumper for E.U. cars & would require that modified in some way or for the matching rear bumper to be fitted with lights & reflectors.

The Evolving World I could not figure out from the movie - what is the bulb socket you used for the reverse light?

@@michamicek854 Generic T10, W5W, etc. bulb socket. Bought a 10 pack on eBay.

Amazon works good as a portal to the OEM. eBay might be a good place to cross shop, especially the U.K. version (of eBay).

The Evolving World thanks again!

@hack bo did you receive the diagram? Would you share it with me please?

@@elisapiredda6708 Do you have the diagram? I'm trying to do the connections.

Nope, never did.

They do/did. You're a few years late to the party to get one though. there is a European company that makes converted lamps ready to go, but it makes the upgrade so costly that it's literally not worth it at that point. It's not that hard to make an adapter cable. The 500 owners forum has a post listing all of the proper connectors, pins, and pin-outs for the existing, as well as the series 4 light. For $30 in parts you can make the conversion. You don't need a resistor on the original lights (not sure who started the rumor that the Euro lights are already LEDs... that's just BS, they use the same bulbs as the old lamps)

I don't know what crazy person would use the turn signals while reversing. But, FYI they would simply both come on & blend together. Kind of a amber flashing white light.

We're back from 28 days in Hawaii. Thought that was answered in earlier comments. N.T.L. it's Amazon (euro lenses w/ bulbs),wiring connectors Amazon, Inserts Speedmotive, Rear center fog/reverse eBay, & generic LED T10's eBay.

Thanks pepper for taking on the project. Many will not even try. I will point out a couple of things: first, the video is showing the left side, the right side wiring colors are different. Second, "canbus" LED bulbs aren't necessarily going to work on this car. To fix: I would unplug the new right side assembly completely & plug in the old right side assembly, see if that fixes the left. If so, then the right wiring needs to be re-wired correctly. If the backup lights still don't work, then try using the factory incandescent bulbs first. They should work, indicating the wiring is good. Reinstall each LED backup bulb just on the left side first, it should work, if not then pull out turn 1/2 turn and re-install for correct polarity. Once the left side is completely working then proceed to get the new right side assembly to match. If the backup lights stop working with the new LED bulb installed on the right side, then it's the bulbs. You will need to go back to incandescent bulbs, add high wattage LED bulbs, or add more LED bulbs (notice in the video, there is a 3rd single center backup light wired on the same circuit). Hope this helps & Don't give up!

@@theevolvingworld Hello...can you please give me your email-adress to contact you there? I have a few questions and want to send you a few pics of my wiring....had no idea whats wrong with... :(

Wilson da silva did you find out ? Looking for them right now

@@icecube2T8 any update?

Hm it aounds like you need the original facelift rear light. Should be the normal eu-version light. The plugs he mean should be this or? www.amazon.de/Qiorange-Steckverbinder-Wasserdichter-Schnellverbinder-Superseal-4-Pin-4Pcs/dp/B07JZJHVX4/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=4+pin+stecker+auto&qid=1595964798&quartzVehicle=812-409&replacementKeywords=pin+stecker+auto&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExRjVSODNBME5aTDBPJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMDc0NDIzQk01TTJUT0w5SUZJJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAyNDI3MzcyT05ISzZQM0JXOFdSJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfcGhvbmVfc2VhcmNoX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU= That is what I find on amazon. These are universal plugs. Do you need something else to know? (But all my knowledge are from the normal petrol version 2007 rebuild to the facelift model. Can be not correct what I say for the electro Fiat)

We're back from 28 days in Hawaii. Yes, I think it would be easier, just to get the parts. Would still have to modify to get the reverse & reflectors. FIAT's in the US were available 2012 - 2019.

Yeah, it was a bitch. It's not soldering copper to copper, that's for sure. As I recall, you really have to make sure the solder tip is closest to the point & as much contact area as possible. Since it's steel, it's not the best heat conducter, so you have to hold it longer than normal. Don't give up, it does work.
