Replacing the rear license plate bulbs...?
Hey all, I realized that one of my rear license place bulbs is out on my 2016 s550 coupe. Any idea on how I can place it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks kondly for your time.

They are LED lights. There is no bulb to replace. Likely something is defective or you're going to have to get an entire license plate part. I could be wrong, but usually when you see those LED lights stock on the tags they're not a simple bulb replacement. You could confirm that by calling your local Mercedes dealership's parts counter.

Thanks guys for your comments and suggestions. The previous owner had blue lights on it. I dont care for the blue lights, so just trying to get them back to stock. I would assume, like as in all cars, they're LED bulbs that would need to be replaced?
Does anyone know if I can access these through the trunk? Or do they pop out from the glass? Or is it something really dumb like having to remove the bumper to replace?
Also, any idea how to find the part number for these? Thanks in advance.
