Start by releasing the front catches that secure the bonnet to your Smart ForTwo, then unclip and remove the bonnet itself. Next, unclip and remove the rear cover of the bulb.

This will give you access to the back of the blown bulb. Proceed to disconnect the electrical connector, then unclip the clip that holds the bulb in place.

At this point, you can extract and remove the bulb from its housing, successfully completing the removal.
