W204 rear light ground fault?

[TerryCook1]

Apparently a common fault but I have the ground wire burned out on the right hand side rear light cluster of my 2011 220 Estate. I did the fix explained on YouTube videos about it but the fault lights are still on and I need a new cluster. Any ideas where best to vet one without having my pants pulled down at the dealers?

Buy from MB....not that expensive. Check that the plug is OK as that can be burned. If you change the plug, you will probably need some connectors as well. Mine was under £20 although that was a few years ago.
