How to Replace the Front Bulbs in a Smart

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Light bulb

In today's video, see how to replace the front headlamp bulbs in the first series of the Smart 450. As the bonnet does not open (the engine is located at the rear), proceed differently. Locate the covers on the bonnet (the fake air intakes) and remove them. Access the bulb compartment. Remove one unit first and then the second if necessary. Test their proper functioning and then reassemble everything to complete your current task. As you have seen, this is a simple and quick job that can be done immediately.
