Light Marker FR Warning

I have a new warning about a FR Light Marker and indeed it is out. I'm having a little trouble finding which bulb goes there and how to replace it?

I think it's this bulb:

Amazon

?

Can anyone confirm and point me to directions on how to change the bulb?

Thanks

The bulb is usually a "92" or "194" peanut bulb, white, 5 Watt. The ones that you show will work - they are "premium" bulbs, sold as longer-lasting.

The side marker housings just snap out of the fender from the outside, no tools needed, unless you need a small tool to act as a pry bay. Be careful to not break the mounting tabs off. Or, you can pop the small end grille out and reach in thru there.

Great, thanks.

Looks like it takes a T10, W5W, 92, 168, 194 (these are lower wattage than 168), 12961 bulb...

In reality, MBZ considers changing these bulbs 'beyond user capabilities and expect you to bring them into Dealer, where they will charge $250 diagnosis, 1.5 wk hr for bulb replacement, and $10.95 for the part. So $400+/_ unless they find other things to do.
