| Description of the problem | Please note that on the ml350 with led lights there seem to be a major issue with light replacements. While driving my car states that the brake light is broken. Brought it to the dealer they state that there is no bulb replacement. You have to replace the entire tail lamp for 545. 00 . I think this is crazy just for a blown bulb, mercedes did not design the led tail lamp bulb to be replaceable. I think the maker is an ass to design the tail lamp that way. I think this unfair practice and hope someone investigates. |
