I've just had to replace the nearside sidelight bulb on my w221 S-class. What a job! I previously managed to change a dipped beam bulb by moving the screenwash reservoir and squeezing my hand in. No such luck with sidelight bulb. I had to jack up the car, remove the wheel and take off the arch liner to get access to the bulb. Surely these cars should have a hatch in the liner the same as humble Vauxhalls have. :dk:
 
My advice here is go to a MB parts department, ask if they change bulbs for free if you buy the bulb, then when they say yes, get them to do it !

Greenoaks (Ascot) always used to change bulbs and batteries without a labour charge ... haven't asked recently..
