Do you want to change the damaged front headlight bulbs on your Smart Fortwo? Let’s see how to proceed. Open the plastic levers located at the sides of the front grille with your hands.

Once the front plastic is free, lift it upwards with your hands, then remove it from the vehicle body. Once the previously mentioned piece is removed, take out the headlights from the vehicle body and replace the bulbs.

To proceed with reassembly, screw the headlights back into place, secure the plastic cover at the front of the car and then at the bottom. Finally, close the levers for the bonnet opening with your hands.
