Confirm that taillight bulb CANNOT be changed?!
I have a rear passenger daytime running light that is out. According to my research, the bulb cannot be changed and the entire bulb carrier must be changed. I called the dealer, and he wasn't sure but thought the same since bulbs were not found in WIS it the carrier assembly. Here is a video that says bulbs cannot be changed individually: https://www.carcarekiosk.com/video/2006_Mercedes-Benz_CLS500_5.0L_V8/lights/tail_light
Someone please help! This is driving me nuts! Thank you

Correct, bulb cannot be changed replacement part # is 2198200211. Pull taillight to inspect circuit may find obvious flaw that can be repaired.

Thank you my friend! I already pried out the bulb but I don't think I can. Put it back in correctly. Sounds like part 2198200211 definetly comes with the bulbs though ??
