03 S500 Changing Rear Turn Signal Bulb

Hi - I have a 03 S500 and I need help on how to change the rear turn signal bulb. On my other/older mb's and bmw's, the bulb fit's in a plastic housing that is very easy to remove. The plastic housings on my S seem to be fixed - as if it requires a special tool to remove it to get to any of the bulbs in the assembly. How are you guys getting this accomplished?

unless you have "special edition" of your rear lights assembly LOL
you should be able to twist& pop-out all of the 4 light bulbs. If you can't do it - take it to MB Dealership and they'll change it free of charge for you
