Brake light message

We get a message that says the right brake light is out. How do you replace them? Aren't they a bunch of LED's? I did a search and didn't find anything...

What Model? You have posted in the M-Class forum, and depending on year, you can replace just the bulb or you have to replace the entire taillight.

It is for a 2010 ML550. I have a feeling it is the entire taillight... any good sources and price, besides the dealer?

I find the best prices by goggling the part number, checking ebay (but going strait to the stores site if possible), and don't forget to check the parts recyclers if you really want lower prices.

Yes, it is a pain in the ***.


Seems MB loves weird Java configurations.


Mine did not work for a few years and then all of a sudden started working.


Send you VIN and I will look it up.

I did a google for that part number and it is hard to find! Is this going to be dealer only?

Try googling some of the replaced by numbers.


Don't forget to check the recyclers (junk yards)

My understanding is that it is not a single bulb since they are LED...
