There are two parts of each housing. You gotta twist off the cap on the back of the big compartment (closest to the sides of the car) to get inside. There are some clips for the bulb once you get inside the compartment. Should be easy from there...I forget what type of bulb it is. It's not that hard to find. Any auto parts store should have it. There's a sticky thread that might contain the info.

I found the replacement bulbs here...

http://www.mercedes-benz-parts-direct.com/

These is the only place i've found the "park lights" that just went on my CLK as well. Looks like it's only a $13 part (Versus $100+ for the xenon).
