Pull the instrument cluster (using the Mercedes pulling hooks available at the dealership). After you do that, you can get to the bulb for check engine light. Twist the base of the bulb and remove it, and replace the cluster by pushing it in firmly.

All better!

I told tP to come over here with the lights and your car and I have the housing the the connector that goes to the lights and that will make it a snap.
