Change front-lamp

[Flop]

Hello all "Smarties"

 

Sorry I am writing in non-german, but english is preferred from my end

 

Have just bourght a smartie cabrio from 2003, and found out that the left-side front-lamp is broken (not the scheinwerfer, only the lamp).

 

By studying the user manual, I can find guidance how to change all other lamps that the front-ones. It is stated that front lamps are to be replaced by "Smartie-werkstadt".

 

Is that really correct, that I cant change the lamp my self ?

 

Any guidance from here would be really appriciated (even in the German language).

Bay demounting of the front-panel.

If your hands are lank you can also try it by the service-port. But that way you cannot see anything, you have to feel for it... ;-)

Perhaps you should look here.

There are a lot of good Instructions.

Hi Flop,

 

There is a danish forum too, mostly for the 451, but we are some 450' too.

You can also try to change the bulb via the service screen... but if you're doing this the first time, it is not so easy because you cannot see what you are doing: click here

Have tried the easy way by the service-opening, but my arm is a bit too thick to move around inside the room.

 

I have to disassemble almost the whole car to get to the bulp!

 

By the way, I didnt new about the Danish forum, i will try and visit them, thanks by the way!

Despite the use of different word for the same thing, I actually did succeed with changing the bulp, during the service-opening. Just a little more acrobatic attitude and it did work :-D

 

Thanks a lot mates!
