Reverse light bulb

[He10JMD]

Hi all

Im brand new here and this is my first post so please forgive me of I dont know the etiquettes yet!

I have recently purchased my first Mercedes and I have a really basic problem I cant get get to the bottom of, how do I change the reverese light bulb in my 2016 C220D AMG? I have removed the rear cluster from the car but cant see how to get into the unit to access the bulb so Im hoping I dont need new rear cluster to change a bulb... Please can anyone point me in the right direction of how to change a bulb
Thank you

Well I think you will find that you replace the light cluster or some of it,it is a poor idea.

Not sure why MB did this with the rear lights,it is not a new idea,I came across it with a 2006 VW Passat you had to buy the rear light because the LED's were slowly giving up.

I see on ebay that these rear lights are £120 odd quid delivered secondhand,thats a kick up the pants.

Well try all the online parts people try europarts put in your reg and see if they do revercing bulbs,or a complete unit.
