How to replace the side indicator light bulb on a Smart ForTwo

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Side marker bulb

Before starting, we will have to get out of our Smart ForTwo, and then head towards the side arrow. So let's start by inserting the tip of a slotted screwdriver into the gap between the side arrow and the body, and then lever. After that, we will have to unhook the internal fixing clip, and then extract the arrow from its housing. Once this is done, we will have to rotate the lamp holder, thus reaching the burned out bulb. At this point, we will have to disengage and extract the bulb from its housing, and we will have finished the disassembly. To fit the new side indicator bulb on our Smart ForTwo, we will have to repeat this procedure in reverse, and the replacement will be completed.
