Fog light bulb burned out.
Just called my dealership, they're charging $14 for the bulb and $190 to replace the entire fog light lamp... Is this rip off or what?

Theres a DIY on how to change the bulb yourself. You don't need to change the entire fog lamp when you just have a burnt out bulb. I'm glad you came here before being scammed by the stealership.

Wow!
Why did they want to replace the lamp? Was there a valid reason or was it a pure scam?
If a scam, maybe you could call MBUSA to lodge a complaint against them? Maybe the BBB too? I just hate it that all these Stealerships get away with this BS.
