License plate light replacement on Smart cars

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: License plate light

Replacing the bulb that illuminates the license plate on Smart cars is a very simple operation, and now we will demonstrate it to you. First you need to remove the casing from its seat, levering the slot on your left and bumping to the right, as shown in the video. If you find it hard to do this by hand, help yourself with a small flat screwdriver or a plastic wedge. Once the casing has been removed, disconnect the two cables. At this point, all you have to do is extract the small exhausted bulb, insert the new one and proceed backwards. You may take this opportunity to clean the bulb housing with a special spray.

How to Open the Boot of the Ford Ecosport

Opening the boot lid of the Ford Ecosport is a straightforward operation that greatly facilitates access when normal operation would otherwise be inconvenient. Naturally, you can open the boot using the remote/key in the same way you open the doors of the cabin. However, in some cases, you may need to open it in other ways. You will notice that there is no handle or button for manual opening in the usual positions. Instead, you will find the handle with the lock underneath at the top of the right rear light, highlighted by the chrome finish. This allows you to open the boot, which will swing open to the left.
