Start by releasing the two lower clips that secure the front cover of your Smart ForTwo, then unclip and remove the cover. This will give you access to the rear of the bulb.

Next, rotate the holder of the position light to extract it. At this point, disconnect the bulb from its holder, and you will have successfully completed the disassembly. To fit the new bulb and reassemble everything, simply follow these steps in reverse, and you will have finished the replacement.
