Headlight replacement on Smart Fortwo

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

Let's see the replacement of the rear light of the Smart Fortwo if damaged. Lift the luggage compartment door, unscrew the tightening screws on the side of the headlight with a screwdriver. We detach the rear light from its housing once all the fastening screws have been removed (we disconnect the power supply terminals). We replace the bulbs if damaged with new ones (size and voltage equal). We fix the new lighthouse with attached screws after connecting the power supply terminals. We turn on the headlight lights to check operation (we operate the control levers to turn on the headlights).
