1980 450SL license plate light access/removal
No lights above the license plate so I can't run at night. A check of the fuse #13 I think showed it as good so I proceeded to try to get some ohmmeter leads on the two assemblies so I can look for current and check the bulbs.
But, where to start to get to the units? Removed long strip, carpet and two square panels below and next to the lock assembly. Download a MB of PDFs but there was no index. I know I will be hating myself if I screw up these bulb assemblies...
Help with the procedure to get to these license plate light assemblies please.
BTW I did get the refinish done in Nautica blau top body and astral silver bottom body. OK, so I crosses decades to get the color scheme. I'll post a pix or two. Also I did get the 6.5" alloy wheels and fitted them with Tigerpaws.
