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.
