Today's instructions will allow us to dismantle and replace the rear light of the Mercedes E-Class. First, let's open the rear trunk lid and start removing the side trim of the luggage compartment to access the inside of the headlight; then we will disconnect the bulb's electrical connector, subsequently unscrewing the nuts of the headlight to remove it from the outside, as shown in the video.

At this point, we replace and install the new rear light, replacing either just the stop lights; we check the operation of all the lights.
