Instrument cluster bulbs

[- Rush -]

My temp. and clock display bulbs are gonne on my CLK 200 1997. Im gonna try replace it myself , so can someone tell me what type of a bulbs do i need for this ?

Ther are soo many different types. You will have to remove the cluster in order to identify it.

Even the dealership cannot identify the bulb type on EPC, and the only way they do it is by seeing the bulb.

God damit. I was thinking like , if i knew the bulb type i only need to remove cluster once , but now i must do it twice.

Man , im a bit scared removing this instrument cluster , anyway im gonna "bite the bullet".

But EPC does not seem to name more than one replaceable bulb for the cluster: A0015445594 with this socket: A0005454619 (should not need a new socket).

When you have done it once, you'll realise how easy it will be every other time.

For air temperature and clock I don't think that you need a bulb... They have their own illumination... The letters and numbers are illuminated by themselves...

That`s more bad news. Well , im gonna find out what it is when i take the cluster out.

Do i need to remove the steering wheel , or this can be done without touching the wheel on W208 CLK ?

This can be a dimmer issue also... Did you check it already..?
