For a step by step instruction one will need the WIS from Mercedes..

Or
remove the pass side trunk carpet and center floor trunk carpet
Remove the bolts for the air tank bracket...then remove the nuts at the tail light
unplug the tail light... 1/4 inch drive tools help a LOT!

"WIS from Mercedes" is what you get when you purchase the W211 Service DVD from dealer or at 800.for.merc

Pretty easy, here you go. You will also need to remove the air tank on the right side in order to have easy access to the nuts on the tail lamp. It comes out with 2 screws and just move it away, no need to unhook the tubes or anything else.

Cheers
