Taillight Replacement

My wife accidentally broke our back right lower taillight Reflector. Is that hard to replace or should I have Mercedes fix it? If they fix it, I wonder how costly it is?

It is only available as MB dealer part - who the dealer chooses to do the repair - or who you choose to do the repair - frankly a Mercedes Certified Collision Center is always best - do a search for closest one on mbusa.com

Thanks, so must not be an easy repair then and most likely expensive? I thought maybe I could just pull it out and the new one would just push in. This would be the taillight reflector. The piece below the taillight. Thanks for the help.

If you are talking about the reflector that is in the bumper, yes, 10 second replacement. I cracked mine, found one at a MB dealer online for $28, and popped it in the next day. It uses one-way barbed clips - just push it in.
