How to remove the interior panel of the Smart 450.

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Checks and maintenance

To remove the interior panel of the Smart 450, a T20 Torx key is necessary, as there are 6 Torx screws to remove. After that, the internal part of the panel comes off. First, we remove the storage pocket. Then, we pull off the internal panel, which is interlocked: we must first remove the lower part and then pull the entire panel towards the steering wheel to remove the interlock without damaging it. In this way, the central panel has been removed and the interior part of the door is now accessible to perform any necessary work inside it.

Removing and Replacing a Front Headlamp of a Lancia Lybra

This video explains how to remove and replace the front headlamp and its bulbs on a Lancia Lybra. The car has a very simple and quick headlamp removal system. To start, lift the bonnet, reach into the engine bay, and (specifically at the rear of the headlamp) unclip the metal tab that secures the headlamp, then use a screwdriver to undo the few Torx screws. After removing the screws, unclip the headlamp and pull it out from the bumper, disconnect the power connectors, and replace any damaged bulbs or the entire unit. The reassembly phase is very straightforward: insert the headlamp into the bumper housing as shown in the video, secure the metal tab until the headlamp clicks into place (screw in the securing screws). Finally, test the correct operation of the lights.
