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

Want to remove the damaged bulbs from your Smart Fortwo? First, remove the front bonnet and locate the rear cover of the front headlights. Remove the protective cover from behind the headlight to access the bulbs to be replaced. Disconnect the bulbs from inside the headlight and then from the bulb holder (where the electrical cable is connected). Once all damaged bulbs are removed from the headlights, replace them with new ones. Check the operation of the headlight bulbs, then refit the front bonnet panel.
