Well guys after buying the replacement LEDs for my door handles a few weeks back I decided today was the day.

It took me nearly 8 hours to replace all four LEDs, I did find a couple of videos on YT but couldn’t find any on the W205 C63

The first door was the longest, as I hadn’t done this before, on the 2nd door I ended up removing the glass, once this was out of the way it was easier, no wonder Mercedes were quoting me nearly £600 If anyone wants there’s replaced and doesn’t feel confident, I’ll be happy to assist if someone wants to come round, I know these jobs can be daunting, I’m just waiting for darkness to try them out
 
A mate of mine did one of his, said it was a PITA of a job. The one in on the driver‘s door on ours is intermittent, but I can’t be bothered to fix it to be honest.
 
Taking the glass out and 8 hours for all 4 doors seems like you have had a hard job.
the last time I replace one of my rears it was 35 minutes from opening the garage door to closing up again all done. The job is a fiddle as the door card and inner black plastic skin needs to be removed.
I posted the process and pictures in replay to a post in 2019. Since fitting the revised LEDs the water ingress issue that plagued the early LEDs seems to be addressed by MB. I notice that the cost of the parts has steadily risen. From another £17 to around £24 now depending which MB dealer you use.
If you search for the following post you will find my account of how I tackled the job:

I wouldn't bother mate, it was a major PITA
