Welcome, the E-Box is a Canadian thing I think solely but could be wrong. Enforced by transport Canada to allow the cars into the country....idiotic imho....lol.

Why are you searching for it...?   You having issues..?   OR does the european /English models have their own version of an E-Box...?

 

Again welcome to the site....enjoy....

That might be why I can't find it the problem I am having is the display light is staying on and I saw a post from 10 years ago saying it was a Canadian e box when I Google it says it is just above the battery but not on ours

451 models like yours don't have an e box, they have a SAM.  If you don't have one already, get a subscription to Evilution and do some searching - the site is a wealth of smart car information. :)

canadian 450 have a sam and an ebox...

 

its (the ebox) mounted near the battery ..but is often moved to a dryer location up in the console area because they left the wires long

only info i could find for instrument cluster illumination on a 451 is that they are not serviceable,,,that usually just means they are surface mount leds that are soldered in....which should be serviceable but require good soldering skills and good eyesight
