How do i replace the headlight bulb on the Smart?

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

In order to replace the Smart's headlight bulb, the hood must be opened to gain access to the engine compartment. Once the hood has been opened, the protective cap located at the rear of the headlight must be removed in order to disconnect the connector connected to the bulb. The latter can now be removed from its housing and replaced with a new spare part. The new bulb will then have to be connected to its connector and inserted into the special housing. After replacement, the protective cap can be re-installed.
