How to replace the front headlight of the Smart Fortwo

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Headlight

This brief guide will show us how to disassemble and replace the front headlight and its bulbs of the Smart Fortwo. First, we open the front hood of the car and start disassembling and removing the front bumper; to do this, we unscrew all the fixing screws we find on the top and bottom of it, as shown in the video. At this point, we unscrew the screws of the headlight assembly, disconnecting the electrical connector of the bulbs; we remove the front headlight and replace, if necessary, the faulty bulbs with new ones, applying the reverse procedure for reassembly!
