Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Door trim panel

In order to remove the internal door panel of the Smart 450 you have to remove the triangular cover in correspondence with the external rearview mirror. Once removed, you will have to unscrew the screws below and remove the mirror; then you can unscrew the screw in correspondence with the external door handle and remove the latter as well. This will make it possible to detach the outer door panel and remove the actuator underneath.

How to Replace the Front Headlamp Bulb on a Fiat Grande Punto

To replace the front headlamp bulb on a Fiat Grande Punto, first open the bonnet. Once done, access the rear of the headlamp where the bulb needs replacing (the bulb is of type H4). Locate the rubber cover that protects the electrical contacts and bulbs from water and moisture. Remove it by pulling on the tab. Now, pull the connector for the bulb's power supply and disconnect it from its position. At this point, push down on the top of the spring that holds the bulb in place, and you can extract the bulb from its housing. To fit the new bulb, follow the steps in reverse as shown in the images. The video also shows how to remove the position bulb, which is located just below the H4. After disconnecting the power supply, you can extract it along with the bulb holder by pressing the two tabs to release it and pulling. The bulb can then be removed from its position in the bulb holder.
