Fortwo Rear Bulb Change
Accessing and changing the rear bulbs seems to be a regular question so here's how to do it.
600cc And 700cc Smart Coupe

Open the rear hatch, using a 10mm socket remove the 2 plastic nuts circled.



Pull the edge of the light over the bolts and swing the unit towards the outside of the car.



Pull the connector out of its socket, this can be a bit tight, keep wiggling.



The 2 clips circled can be pulled back to release the light cover.



The clip circled below can be pulled back to allow the lens to come away from the light housing.



You have now accessed the 3 bulbs, these are bayonet type that have to be twisted to be removed.



Top bulb - P21/5W
Middle bulb - PY21W (offset pins)
Bottom bulb - P21W


Top Tip

Cheers to Tiny for pointing this out. The plastic nuts holding the arch liner in place are the same as the nuts used to hold the rear lights in place. If you lose one of the rear light nuts you can borrow one from the centre of the arch liner until you get a replacement.

999cc Smart

Replacing the lights on the new smart is a whole lot easier and quicker than before.

Open the boot and look to each side, you will see a flap on each side.
The offside flap (shown below) hinges forwards when the clips are pushed in (circled red).
The nearside flap is larger and hinges downwards but has the same clips.



With the panel removed you can see the rear of the light. It is not totally necessary but unplugging the wiring connection will help with access later on.

Squeeze the plastic clip (circled below) and the bulb holders can be pulled out on one part.



You have now accessed the 3 bulbs, these are bayonet type that
have to be twisted to be removed.

These bulbs are to be confirmed

Top bulb - P21/5W
Middle bulb - PY21W (offset pins)
Bottom bulb - P21W
