How to replace the lamps of a Smart Fortwo

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Headlight bulb

We replace the damaged bulbs on a headlight of a Smart Fortwo: unscrew the fastening screws located on the grille at the top of the headlight, remove the grille with the drainage duct inside the grille with a lever or screwdriver. We put our hand in and remove the bulb from its connector, we replace the damaged bulbs with new ones (size and voltage equal). Alternatively, we can remove the entire bumper as shown in the video. After replacing the worn bulbs, let's get ready to refit the grille in the front compartment. Finally, we test the correct functioning of the lights by switching on the instrument panel.
