Brake Light Bulb for 99 E430 Sport?

If someone could post the correct bulb for me and a couple good sources, I'd appreciate it. I've been to Napa and Autozone and both gave me bulbs that would not work. They just light up as if the brake is applied. The old bulb's writing is too small to read, so I can make nothing of it.

I searched the forum and found nothing.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, the 7506 isn't working. It just stays on bright, as if the brake is being depressed. Anyone know where I can get an OEM bulb?

Maybe you have a problem with that side. It should use the same bulb as the other side brake light. Does the other side work correctly?

Having several MB in family posesion I am replacing about 1 light bulb every 10 years.
With such intervals I don't hesitate to buy it at dealer, although going to junk yard, I pull couple spares.
Why couples? because too many dam**** put Sylvania bulbs in MB and then you see such maintained cars end on junk yard.
Lot of them pretty clean and not visible damaged
