EPC help needed for newbie

Rear RHS brake light went out. Need to buy whole unit. Have EPC but the entry's for correct model are confusing at the start.

It asks for ID number first like (WDB)....then second window has two choices for E500 (211070 or 211072) etc....

I looked at the sticky but doesn't walk you through how to use.

2004 E500 WDBUF70J94A450990

Any help appreciated. THX

Key in or cut/paste VIN @ ID entry box – 82 electrical system – 220 rear lighting. Whole unit, do you mean lamp support (10) 2118200477.

Oh I see now. WDB is from the VIN. Yes that's it, the number 10 but.....

I went to parts.com and they only show the number 2118200277 for RHS.

Now you are showing 2118200477 for my VIN. Hopefully I can use the 277.

Thanks KON for the quick response. BTW....what do those Code Links do or tell us?

As it applies to this particular part, codes show model year i.e.: 804 = 2004 & 954 avantgarde (sport model). 277 is not for sport model.

FYI
$32.17 http://huskerparts.com/partlocator/i...?siteid=215771
$41.25/free shipping http://www.oediscountparts.com/partl...?siteid=215242

update: The 277 worked fine. Bulb was completely missing from the older unit, not sure why? Not sure why system error code didn't recognize it and warn me about no bulb?
