Changing lightbulbs in a Smart Fortwo 450

Changing the headlight bulbs on a Smart Fortwo 450, can be quite a challenge.

First you open the small door under the front windscreen, with your car key.
You twist it 90 degrees, and then hinge it towards the front, and lift it off.
Take care that it doesn’t scratch the soft plastic.

Then squeeze your arm in, remove the plastic covering, the electrical plug, and the retaining clip holding the bulb.

Swap out the bulbs and assemble it all in the reverse order.

It’s quite the pain to do, so I would strongly recommend that you swap all bulbs while you are in there.
