Looking for an '01 CLK320 taillight
Just had my CLK320 in for service and they wanted $350 to replace a taillight! This includes an hour and a half (!) of labor? Am I nuts or should this take minutes to replace? And where can I get a replacement lens? The bulb is fine, it's just the red lens that I need replaced. TIA

Jeff,
Right or left side, I have a right side, no cracks, just two small scratches sitting in my garage. You can have it, just pay for shipping. I have a 01 CLK 430, I think they are the same for rear tail lights.

Thanks for the very generous offer. I need a right side (passenger side), so that should do it. Can you send me an email @ JeffWilson@aol.com with your info so I can send you a check for shipping (and any handling)? Thanks very much again!

Jeff,
by the way, should take about 15 minutes to change. Very easy just dont over tighten the bolts, it will break seal of the tail light and moisture will get in. Just a Heads Up

Thanks for the heads up!! I tell you, if I can do this in 15 minutes, I may just call the state consumer protection agency. They can charge anything that they want for a part, but if they say that they are charging for 90 min of service for something that takes 15 minutes, that is fraud!!
