This guide shows how to replace damaged bulbs on the front headlamp of a Smart Fortwo. Once you have removed the bodywork section as shown in the video, locate the inspection caps at the back of the headlamp and remove them.

Next, perform the same operation for the bulbs with the bulb holders, extracting the damaged bulbs that need replacing. Fit the new bulbs (ensure they are the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holders into their respective slots in the headlamp.

Finally, secure the metal clips on the bulb holders located in the headlamp. Refit the front bonnet cover.

Test the lights to ensure they are functioning correctly.
