different tail-light bulbs!
i have a 2000clk430
i had to replace one of my tail/brake lights the other day and found something very disturbing.
my left tail light bulb holder is different from my right tail light bulb holder.
the right side takes the bulbs that are specified in the manual but the left side takes a diffrent bulb.
the differences are in the studs on the base of the bulb...the correct ones mirror themselves in a V shape whereas the other mirror themselves directly across from eachother.
does the fact that the rear fog light is located on the left explain this inconsistency?
is this normal? please help!!
