My 2009 CLC went for Mot, and failed.
The drivers side door mirror indicator was not as bright as the passenger side - hence the fail. It has been like this for years.
I have removed and dismantled the mirror and several of the leds are inop. These are encased in a plastic moulding, so impossible to get to.
MB do not supply the led housing separately, so a complete new mirror is needed. Cost over £200. I have strips of spare leds which I use for my camper lighting. It's so frustrating that I can't fit them into the mirror casing. Another example of total waste - unless anyone can come up with a bright (!) idea?
