SL500
I am a Fu**ing idiot!! I smashed the LED light on my side view mirror!!

So I was backing my 2003 SL500 in my tight garage and I hit my side view mirror on the house. Luckily all I did was crack and destroy the LED's on the mirror. Anyone have an idea what those cost? I plan on ordering one on Monday from the dealer.

Cool thanks!! I can also use my shop discount, and see what price I can get.

I am feeling better about it. I did almost no damage to the mirror (one super small scuff) and the led unit just pops out. It looks like it will be a super easy part to replace. Now I hope its inexpensive.
