Replacement of the front headlight bulbs of the Smart 450.

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

To replace the front headlight bulbs of the Smart 450, we unscrew the five Torx screws found in the passenger door frame, remove the plastic triangle at the base of the pillar, and unscrew the screw found underneath. We then proceed to perform the same operations on the driver's side, additionally removing the antenna. Using levers, we remove the horizontal air intake above the license plate and unscrew the four screws found underneath. This allows us to remove the front bumper and access the back of the headlights to replace the burnt bulbs. We take the opportunity to check the various levels and reassemble everything by following the steps in reverse.
