Hi, this is from WIS for a 2012 S204, pretty much the same I think. The document highlighted in red on the right for removing the left & right paneling is shown below the initial document.

This looks over complicated to me. When I removed mine I simply (very gently) levered the lamp assembly out from the outside, unplugged it, and fitted the new one.

It is quite fragile so don't force it, but then if you're replacing it anyway it doesn't matter if it breaks. Only a 10 minute job.

Thank you very much.

I haven't tried removing the item ................ the reason I am removing it is because I am getting water coming in through the assembly and entering the boot area. Do you know if there is a seal/gasket as part of the install. If not I might be better using a sealant [silastic or similar] to seal the top of the stoplight where the water is coming in?
Any comment or advice greatly appreciated.
