W220 License plate,glove compartment, & dome lights!!!
 
I recently got an error msg about my license plate light being out so i looked up the bulb type & bought some bulbs to replace. I seen that the license plate bulbs are the same as the glove compartment & dome lights but i cant seem to be able to gain access to replace any of the bulbs. I figured i'd change them all out since they prolly havent been done ever before. Anybody know how to change out the license plate bulbs? Glove compartment & dome lights without having to go to the dealership? I DRIVE A 2002 S430. Thanx in advance.

there are small screws holding in the lenses for the tag bulbs. unscrew them and pry out the lens.

Why bother changing the glove compartment and dome lights? They are on only rarely or for short periods of time. I have never replaced either bulb in any car I have owned.
The license plate lights are obviously on for significantly longer periods of time and should be replaced in pairs. Once one bulb goes, the other follows.
