Hi,

My Rear Courtsey light on my C240 has burnt out twice in the last 6 months and the front Light (in between the front reading lights) by the "SOS" button died today. Can someone please tell me how to remove the covers for these lights without breaking anything? What kind of tools/special instructions? And which light bulbs?

I think I'm gonna buy a 30pack of light bulbs to have spares for this thing.

In addition to this I recently had to replace the Turn signals lights for both sides on the front (Due to the Ground/arcing issue). Man Have I had a bad luck streak of electrical issues with this car. I like it but Mercedes has really let me down on quality.

 

i can tell you one thing, its not gonna get any better

i have a 1995 C 220 and it is INFESTED with electrical problems

im really scared to take it to an electric specialist or the dealer

 

I figured out how to replace it on my own. You take out the Dome console (with SOS button from the front side), Use a flat thin and wide tool. You gotta pull on it HARD and don't be afraid, it won't break.

Once you take off the dome, you can remove the Light Covers and then replacing the bulb is breeze. Took bad bulb to dealer and got spares. Works like a charm and man I'm a genious.


Thanks to myself for my own advice and hard work.

Me: "Your're welcome me, anytime!".
