To replace the front headlight bulbs on a Smart ForTwo Coupé, first, remove the small cover from the front compartment. Unlock the two clips found in the grille at the bottom of the car's front (as shown in the images).

After that, remove the small top cover and position it on the front of the car, securing it with the appropriate pins. At this point, access the back of the headlight and remove the rubber cover protecting the electrical contacts by hand.

Disconnect the power supply of the bulb you want to replace and move the spring (pulling it upwards and shifting it to the right) that holds the bulb in place. Now, extract the bulb and replace it with the new one, following the instructions shown in the video but in reverse order.
