Description of the problem	On 8/8/2013 my information display indicated my right taillight, blinker and brake lights were out. When i opened the compartment to see what type of bulbs to replace i found the problem to be much bigger than expected. The plastic housing that hold the wiring pin, the wiring pin and the brown ground wire were all burnt up causing the lights to fail. I than opened the left tail light compartment and the same thing is happening, there is already signs of the housing burning. I remember smelling something burning in the car a few weeks ago. I now know what it was. I am surprised it did not catch fire. I contacted mercedes service only to find i am responsible paying to have this issue corrected. I only hope the left side does not cause a fire before i am able to get it fixed. This is clearly an unsafe electrical issue.
