2 Check Lamps msgs!! please help!

I have a 2009 c300 and the check central brake lamp msg came up. The light would work on and off. is this a simple bulb switch i can do myself or something i have to bring to the dealership?

I also have a check right tail/brake lamp msg as well. i changed out my brake bulb but the error msg still comes on. all the lights appear to be working just fine. should there be something else i should check that i may have missed?

thank you for your time

Center brake light is LEDs so have the dealer check it out. For the other I had the same but for the left side. All bulbs lit fine so I pulled the bulb tray and took each bulb out and inspected it. When I reinstalled the msg went away.

W204 C-Class has a history of issues with the taillight harness. The connectors for the wires appear to loosten. I brought mine to the dealership and they fixed it in the intake area.
Might want to check that.
