Question 3rd brake light led

My 3rd brake light led has 4 leds out, anyone know where I could get a replacement besides the stealership? I also noticed that the newer model E's 3rd brake light doesn't have the gap inbetween the LED's, does anyone know if they will fit an '03?

No, the fix is to buy a whole new unit.

There are Mercedes dealers selling parts online at a discount.

The part # is A2118201456 for MY08 and it is compatible with your MY03 e320.

For cost PM Rob https://mbworld.org/forums/members/28130-kybenz.html and OEM parts cheaper https://mbworld.org/forums/classifieds/236659-oem-parts-cheaper-update-please-read.html
