are you talking about a GL or GLS? because the GL has a bulb in the back and the GLS has a led brake light? slightly confused here

I need to replace the left tail light on my 2017 GLS450. Any insight would be appreciated. Also, where did you purchase your replacement?

Thanks!

Remove the panel with the net on it. Push down from top and should easily pop off to give you access to the nuts holding taillight in.
