hi all please help me i have a 2000 s 500 it tells me in the info cluster the r side turn light is out on the mirror how do i remove the leds out of the mirror? i found some on ebay i like to replace the org ones with . thanks Frank.

 

Hi,

Mirror cover slides off after depressing/ move sideways the spring release below mirror. Sorry I don't have a diagram / picture. No need to try to move mirror glass which is only removable once the cover has been taken off.

The LEDs are mounted on the cover.

The LED electrical connector design changed circa 2000.

If you buy the more recent clear lens LEDs you may have to be creative re the connector since original "automatic" electrical connector was replaced by a fly leadarrangement. Physically the LED module is the same size however.

i tryed to remove it I just can't ? do I push it in or pull the mirror to one side ? please let me know oh now the little light goes on all the way not just two leds all of them works????

 

Best I can do is the following.

Angle mirror to give max access to space at bottom corner of mirror adjacent to the cabin.
With a small screwdriver or similar move the cover retaining spring upwards whilst pulling the cover off in an outwards direction.. This enables the spring to ride over a ridge on the cover.
Even when you know how to do this it is still a matter of trial and error to find the correct position on the "spring" that causes it to move sufficiently to allow the cover to come off.

Since you now state two of the three LED's have started working again it looks like it is a connection / corrosion issue. LED's are normallymega reliable.

got the new lights in today pluged them in works grate thanks guys! the guys on the forum is grate ,,

 

I would like to comment on the remote laser part about lowing the windows. My car works sometimes and not other times with this feature for both open and close. The dealer theorizes that the battery is getting old enough where sometimes the amperage reading drops below a defined threshold where the sensors will not allow that feature to operate. I would love to fix this, butI do not have confidence in the explanation, as the Battery reads healthy. Anyone have a comment on that? Perhaps I'll make this a separate thread ifI don't get more info. good luck.
