Hoping for a favour from a European 451 owner (Re: tail lights) - Smart Car of America Forums : Smart Car Forum

Hi all. I'm still trying to get my hands on a pair of 2008 European-spec tail lights for my car. I contacted a dealer today who can order the parts, but there are several different versions showing up in the parts computer. I was hoping that someone in Europe (anywhere that drives on the left

) might be able to contact their local smart centre and ask what the correct part numbers for replacement 2008 451 tail lights would be. I know it's a big request, but I would truly appreciate any assistance. Thanks very much in advance.

give some infos about your 451 because i don´t know what specs really identify the right part numbers!

it´s a cabrio, right?
when was it built?

This is interesting, what is the difference between the Euro and US taillight? Hopefully you guys find the correct part number.

It's a 2008 Cabrio Passion, built September '08.

Jefferios, the European tail lights have separate amber turn signals and a rear fog lamp, where ours combine the turn signals with the brake lights, and have dual reverse lamps.

Already found? If not, give me a couple of days.

Hi Tsanis. I've located the part numbers. Unfortunately, the lights are quite expensive from US vendors.

I doubt we are going back "home" this year, or otherwise I'd offer to pick them up during our normal November visit to Holland. But if you want, I can ask my brother in law to look on your behalf. The inlaws will be here Dec 1.
