I noticed tonight on my ML the light isn't working on my Speedo but is working on the rev counter and temp gauge, can anyone tell me or post a link on how to replace these, and I noticed my heater controls don't illuminate, is this normal or have these bulbs gone as well.
Thanks

All I can say is pay someone to do it! Go to an Indy... I recently did the ones on my old C-class and it opened a whole can of worms. I pinched a wire when refitting the instrument cluster. That resulted in the battery light not working. I ended up having to remove the cluster again and just happened on finding a pinched wire, I had to strip off the insulation and then solder and insulate the wire. BTW, The bulbs are about £3 each from MB. You could buy the bulbs from Autobulbs direct Ltd. Dashboard & Panel Bulbs 12V.

But just have a think on it, pay a pro. They are a nightmare!
 
Thanks I will give it some thought, may pop up the road to the indi see if they can give me a rough idea of price. Also I think the heater controls should light up so would need to get them done as well.
