Replacing the high level brake lamps...

Click here for a full list of all the lamps on a fortwo.

In the upgrade to the 451 fortwo, smart have now changed the fixing method for this light from Philips screws to Torx screws.

Using a Torx T10 bit, remove the two screws that secure the rear light to the rear spoiler.

Carefully pull the fitting from the car.

The fitting now uses a proper connector to how it was on the old model.

Unplug the cable.

Twist the back of the lamp holder by 1/4 of a turn.

Remove the bulb from the lamp holder.

Ensure that you replace with the correct type.

Refit the light to the car.

Screw back in place and test.
