LED Replacement?
Hoping this is the right place to ask but I have a 2002 E-Class Merc (WDD2120052A805098) and the front right, driver side (Ireland), light has gone and I am looking to replace.
It looks like the light is an LED light on the far left, looking at it face on, of the assembly.
Some mechanics have suggested that its a big job to remove and that it might need a complete replacement and might not be user-serviceable but looking for advice from anyone in a similar position.
Any help would be really appreciated just to even know what is possible. VIN lookup here doesn't seem to work but this does https://www.vindecoderz.com/EN/check...120052A805098#

Oh right. I wasn't expecting that from a ten year old car. So no way to get around having it taken to a dealer? Seems like a terrible design to not allow lights to be replaced.

Also, if you are talking about main beam, the LED responsible is driven by a control unit installed under the headlight, where usually the water can damage the electronics, if the fuse is OK.
You can try step by step, fuse, diagnose with a scanner, etc.

Your car is 2014 and is equipped with Static Led Headligts. Those headlights can be found very cheap as aftermarket or even Second Hand.

Really appreciate the response.
