For most applications below, LED bulbs are not suitable. The Fiat CANBUS system will freak out and tell you off for using an LED bulb. Resisters and "error free" bulbs have mixed results. So be prepared for experimentation if you want to try to do LED.
The following are the bulbs recommended by Fiat for each location on the car. US/Canada/Mexico/Latin America specifications are all included.
I have to admit - headlight bulb numbering is a dumpster fire. There are multiple specifications, and in some cases, multiple ones that meet the specs below and some confusion between sources on which bulb goes in which location. So if anyone finds any errors, please let me know.

A question. Is the Front DRL's made up of the following?

Re: Bulbs!
Thanks for that. I already have LED headlights and the DRLs are OG bulbs. I'm kinda self conscious about it.MadFiat wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2019 2:56 pm A popular DRl replacement is these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075T6MSLW and as far as the turn signal I'm not sure.
