Replacing the Rear Light Bulbs on a Smart Fortwo

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Tail light bulb

In this video, you will see how to replace the bulb in the tiny Smart Fortwo 450.

Disconnect the wiring connector and then remove the headlamp's frame by pressing the plastic levers. Now, press the tabs on the bulb holder and separate it from the outer shell: this will give you access to all the bulbs. Simply rotate the bulbs slightly to remove them from the headlamp.
