w215 left brake light not working.

Exactly as the title says, how do I get access to the brake light? I removed the cover in the trunk but i just can’t seem to get to the brake light, do I have to remove any bolts/screws to get it? Also what bulb goes there?

Oh okay. Do they sell replacements on ebay or anywhere? Or what is the process to get it working again if you could advise. Thanks

You can try eBay. Just from past experience, aftermarket lights rarely fit right.
But you can try.

OEM ones seem to be around $500 for a new one, or $150 for a used one. Used OEM might be fine
