2011 R350 Diesel - right brake light out - $500?
Right brake light is out. Wife had it in the shop for an oil change and they told her it was $500 plus labor. . I popped the panel and don't see any bulbs and guessing it is an LED thing. Does that require me to replace the entire light assembly?

your first step would be to ask the dealer!

could you take a picture?
Sometimes it's one led out of the whole array and it doesn't really matter.

I had this on our gl, one tiny led light was out but it worked. Eventually I got the whole taillight replaced under my ext warranty.
