Did anyone seen some clear lights for the 3rd brake light??

wonder if it would look good...

Flame3g

yeah i think the sl55 has a clear on but don't know it it will fit....

You should be able to get a direct replacement (but stronger now) from your M-B dealership for around 200 AUD.

It is easy to fit yourself, when you get the trunk liner out.

200 yikes i got mine for around 90 buck

Correction! I re-checked my invoice and I paid £70 GBP at the M-B parts desk. That would be about 150 AUD (Australian dollars), or $114 USD. Close enough.

I had mine replaced under warranty a couple months ago. I thought there was some sort of recall on it since so many CLK's had the same problem?

PH1L

thanks for the help guys well i asked them how much the light cost its like 400+ AUD and the fitting cost like 100+aud....

moondust

I think that MBUSA was more generous in the US for owners outside the normal warranty period there. I tried to get free light replacement here in the UK on my 4 y/o CLK, and it was no-go at the dealership.

I actually had the extended warranty. PH1L let me see if I can source one through my service advisor. Maybe it will be cheaper, if not then at lease I tried.

I had the same problem about a month ago and ended up buying one off Ebay for $40. The seller doesn't have anymore listed but you might want to contact him to check. The install was easy about 10 min DIY.

I have a loose piece of plastic or something in my trunk lid making a rattling noise, so I have to remove the trunk lining to find it, and this will make it easy.

Thank you

man...I got the same problem with my new car...the third brake light is chipped off...Any idea where I can get them ? I already looked on ebay (none). The site you guy posted above is out of stock.

dynomite05,

Thanks for you interior LED part number...I got installed it already looks pretty good.

Jon,

Did you actually replaced ur 3rd brake light with your aftermarket warranty or with MB warranty ? I do have the extended warranty...do you think they cover that ?

Thank you all,

Andy

Cali_ML

Yes, they should cover it.. I had mine replaced twice. I also have extended warranty and my SA never gaved me any problem.

M-bENZ

How much did you pay for your deductible ? sorry just got the car and extended warranty last week.

Andy

kiamcoj

There is no deductible, its not insurance lol

Either its covered or its not when it comes to the warranty. If your service adviser is nice, then even if somethings not covered he'll give you a break and sell the part at wholesale and discount the labor or not charge you for the part and just charge labor. It all depends on the adviser, but for a list of what is covered, MB will probably send you a manual on everything covered.

Cali_ML

Like kiamcoj said. there's no deductible.

M-bENZ

wtf ? there is a deductible for my extended warranty ($100) I went to the MB stealer earlier and asked for my third brake light changed they said it costs $213 and I have to pay $100 deductible which the paper (warranty paper work) said that too...so whats up now ?????

Andy

AzCamel

dam i just noticed mine is cracked too! dam! no recall?

M-bENZ

lol it happened to every CLK...that thing is common problem...but hell no there is no recall lol. Cant believe the stealer charged $200 some for that sh**t
