replace turn signal reflector message

I am getting a message like this that says check lamp. It is the turn signal in my pass. side mirror in a 2000 S500.
Can a bulb be replaced or do I need to replace the whole turn signal mechanism? Is it easy to R and R it?
Thanks

You need to replace to the hole thing. You should go ahead and upgrade to the 2003+ turn signals u can get a set for less than $30 on ebay and install in 5 mins.

Wink try to get the used ones

you can change just the strips. but the dealer wont sell just the strips. u have to buy the whole cover. I had the same problem. tried the ones from ebay; hated it. looks cheap & UGLY. so I bought the used original ones from one of the members of this forum. changed them yesterday & its working great. just PM all the members here who has recently done the upgrade. some of them still might have. as for the process its very easy. took me 15 mins.

Thanks for the info. I would buy the higher quality strips if they become available.

try http://allmercedes.com and use PART # 220 820 05 21 for left blinkers and PART # 220 820 06 21 for right blinkers. one thing though. these are oem parts and you have to make a little modification to the blinker plugs and also have to find a way to fix the strips to the cover since there are no screw holes. I did it on my brothers 2002 s55 & it worked fine.
Part# : 220 820 05 21
