Changing front turn signal bulb in 2012 S550?
Is it practical for an average joe to change one of the front turn signal bulbs in a 2012 S550? The onboard system notification says to take it to a dealer, but that seems ridiculous to me. Apparently, the part is a Sylvania 5200, but none of the local part stores stock it.
I know my way around a wrench, but all of my experience came on a '78 Jeep CJ5 and a '76 Ford Bronco, which are different beasts from a Benz, to put it mildly.
If it is, I'd appreciate an overview of the procedure or ideally a shop manual.
Thanks much,
MB

Duh. I can't believe I never bothered to actually look at them in action.
Odd that they seem to be working fine, so I wonder what that System Notification is about...
