Anybody replaced a rear taillight?
My 17 CLS got a rear tail light cracked (I backed into a wall - no other damage). Bought a new one on-line. Have not tried replacing it yet. I watched a video on replacing the tail light on a E350 W211 (which of course shares a lot with the C218 CLS). It looked suprisingly difficult.
Any pointers?

I replaced a rear taillight in my 12 CLS about a year ago. If I remember took about 20 min...pretty straight forward. Most difficult part was removing all the trim pieces. I think you have to start with the lateral plastic piece in the trunk and work your way toward the side, removing the trim along the way.
Not sure if that helps...
