How to Remove and Replace the Bulbs of the Rear Light on a Smart Fortwo

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Tail light bulb

Are the rear lights of your Smart Fortwo not working anymore? Let’s see how to remove and replace the bulbs: open the boot lid, remove the plastic panel at the side of the trim. Once the cover plastic is removed, unscrew the bulb holder from the back of the light; disconnect the power terminals and replace the damaged bulbs with new ones (same size and voltage). Finally, refit the bulb holder in the light with the new bulbs and reattach the plastic cap on the trim. Test the correct operation of the previously fitted bulbs.
