Description of the problem	Driver information system showed that the rear right brake lamp was out. While checking the rear tail lamps for operation, all of the lamps on the passenger tail lamp were inoperative (brake, turn, reverse, parking). Under further examination of the problem, the driver side lights appeared to be dim and flickering. Both the driver and passenger rear tail light connectors were found melted and emitting smoke at the connectors brown wire. The following day, the car was taken to the closest mercedes benz dealership (mercedes benz of arlington).
