How to replace GL450 (2014) daytime running light
My daytime running light just fell off while I was driving. I didn't know until another driver signaled me. I pulled over and found this big hole on my car. I called the MB shops and they're charging $450 for replacing it (parts and service). I'm wondering if I can just purchase the DRL somewhere and install it myself. But how hard can it be?? Where can I purchase it and is there a DIY video you can suggest? Please advise... thanks!

I broke a couple of the plastic clips on one of my light surrounds as I was in too much of a hurry! I put a couple of dobs of silicone there and held it overnight with tape and it's fine.
These lights from Mercedes are about $450 EACH! Buy repro lights, they are well made and a fraction of the price. These lights will fail when water gets in either from damage or not being sealed correctly from new.
