Ouch that's odd.. they should not "burn out" since they are LED that light them up, and you say they work, and they would not be on a separate fuse.. the module itself is probably bad.

Both sides are a single unit, connected in the middle.

The part numbers are:

A220-821-53-51-7241 (GREY)
A220-821-53-51-7218 (BLACK)

It should be around $230.00 for the set.

Are you saying the lights have been inop since you replaced the stock wheel with an AMG wheel? That would be an important bit of information you neglected to mention, so I suspect that's not the case?
