Side Marker Bulb

While attempting to replace my left bulb, i figured I'd be proactive and replace both. While doing them, i noticed the ring inside the unit was loose. I think i managed to secure them back to what i think is the spot. Now i have warning for both bulbs out. Anyone have any advice or run into this problem that has a solution - the previous bulb that was not out no longer works either.

Thanks,

Did you use an exact bulb replacement, maybe being halogen? Or did you try Led? I can only think you tried a Led bulb that is not MB Canbus compatible. Just a guess.

The headlights are really fiddly to swap those bulbs. I'd bought some LEDs (mainly to get a better hue to match the LED headlights) and ended up just living with the (yellowish) halogen bulbs. It SEEMS like it should be a reasonably easy (though totally blind) pull / swap / push operation, but it didn't work out that way for me.

I believe I swapped them out with exact bulbs - I'm going to get another set, MAYBE they were defective, maybe...

Yeah, not my first problem with these headlights. I've almost lost that clip for the headlight, worst headlight design possible.
