Adding a link with all of the available LED options for the FIAT 500, there are also links for the required flasher and load resistors. See the left side of the page for bulb types and note there are in several cases several options so you can determine the brightness level you'd prefer.

Ok here is a visual guide for the dome light. If you don't have a sunroof it should still be the same.
Here is my dome light assembly. I have the Blue&Me(i think everyone does now) and the sunroof.

Insert a flathead screw driver between the light fixture and the sunroof assembly. This took a bit of careful, gently prying (i didn't want to scratch anything.) I focused on the front (closest to the sunroof switch) and close to the corners cause there are clips there.

Here it is disconnected there are 2 wires

Another pic of the 2 wires, the one connected to the side is for the lights, the other one wrapped in foamy stuff is to the microphone for the Blue&Me.

Here is the back side of it notice the clips at the top near the corners. Also be aware i had to peel off a lot of the foamy cover on the Mic wire to be able to unclip the plug.

Insert flathead in one of the 2 side openings and pop it, then you should be able to open it with your fingers.

Here it is open there are 2 festoon bulbs in the center, thats what you need to replace (or upgrade to LEDs)

Heres a close up of the bulbs. i would suggest if you get LEDs, to angle them since most are directional, not sure just yet what the best angle is yet though, either toward the lenses like a / \ upside down V angle, or maybe up at an angle cause the white piece seems to be a reflector of sorts.
