Today, you will learn quickly and easily how to replace the bulb of the rev counter or clock in your Smart Fortwo. This operation takes 5-10 minutes and costs only £5.00 for the purchase of the original bulb.

Start by opening the car and sitting comfortably in the driver's seat on the left side. Remove the glass of the speedometer by unscrewing it, and with the help of a small screwdriver, remove the needle, then remove the numerical part of the speedometer by simply prising it off. Disconnect the bulb and insert the new one, reassemble everything and test its operation.
