i thought right rear parking light are suppose to be off. Mercedes design it like that so people don't play with it make other drivers on the road thinking you are brake checking on them

license plate lights wouldn't endanger you or other drivers on the road, you got lots of light in the back, what was the part number of the bulb you bought?

License plate bulbs are fun make sure the connections are very clean and change the bulbs even if they look ok. Also you can test the bulbs by installing them without the plastic lens thing and make sure they are making a good connection.

just to be sure the parking light is out and not the right fog light right? Many people thing that the car should have two rear fogs while only the left one comes on and even though the right one has a spot for it and sometimes a bulb installed it is never going to turn on. The right side has a spot for right hand drive cars.
