I had a bulb blow on my 1996 C220...but the dealer replaced all the bulbs behind the instruments while they were back there. I'm surprised your dealer didn't have enough sense to do the same.

Usually they change all of them whenever they open up the cluster. My mother's 1997 E420 replaced 2 sets of these lights since new. I just don't trust any electronics from BOSCH anymore.
If Mercedes switch from BOSCH to Nippon DENSO parts then service techs will have lots of free time at the dealer.
