How to replace the headlight of a Smart

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Headlight bulb

Before we can start, we will have to get out of the cockpit of our Smart, and we will have to head towards the front. So let's start by unhooking the hooks that secure the front hood, and then remove it. By doing so, we will have reached the rear of the light. We then proceed by going to remove the rear cover of the bulb. Next, we will have to go and pull the bulb outward from the plug. By doing so, we will have reached the light bulb. At this point, we will have to disconnect the relative electrical connector, and we will have finished the disassembly. To fit the new bulb and close everything, we will have to follow this procedure in reverse, and the replacement will be finished.

To perform this simple operation, first lift the bonnet. Then, remove the upper engine cover and the plastic side cover that protects the timing belt. To create more space for the job, you can remove components next to the engine, such as the coolant reservoir, the windscreen washer pipe, and the fuel filter. This will allow you to remove the lower engine cover and the right wheel for better access to the area where you will be working. Now, relieve the tension from the tensioner pulley and remove the belt for replacement.
