Front Driver-side Marker Light
So my indicator was on saying that this piece had a malfunciton. This time, I wanted to try out Hoehn Mercedes in San Diego for a second time and tell them about the problem. (note: I usually do this myself but I'm lazy from time to time. I also have the Euro-Strip installed). Last night I received a voice call about how the tech has never seen this 3rd party bumper before and that he had to take it out in order to get to the part. They wanted to charge me 1.5 hrs of labor for this problem!!! What that hell is that!? I went to Mercedes Benz of San Diego and they were able to change the bulb for nothing or the price of it at least.
Just wanted to vent. Anyways, I called back today and now, the SA said that the tech didn't want to break any clips on the strips because its known to do that. The SA also said that they would charge me .5 hrs instead. Guys? Is this reasonable? What should I do?

In other words you did not install the bulb in an accessible location after your mod and you want MB to cover it under warranty. Would that be correct?

Anyways, is there a way to deprogram it from be sensed? I know that some people have ended up replacing it with some fuse. Where those mods successful?

Either way. You did a mod and the stealer is making you pay. Its your choice but I doubt you'll get very far based on what members have posted on here.
