If you bend the mirror housing all the way back, there is a big silver clip. Push it in with a flathead sdcrewdriver and it will release the outer housing. Hard to see the clip at first but when you see it you be fine. It's a much easier process than taking off the mirror. The video is of a c class but the process is the same on a w211.

My 04 has them

According to the brochure, they are standard equipment. Maybe your bulbs are burned out.

Yeah it's hard to see. Bend the mirror all the way with one hand and look in there with a flashlight. once you know where it is you can push your flat head screwdriver in there. When you hit the clip, the housing will pop off like you broke something. But its fine. I know it's hard to see but look again with a flashlight. Hope this helps.



Ok maybe I misrepresented its size but that how it was told to me when I was replacing my turn signal. Here's a pic of what your looking for
