- W210 E320cdi Est. W124 E220Est, W124 230TE, W123 230TE (various) W123 200T.
Took the plunge back into Mercedes ownership a few months ago (just can't keep away..) and am gradually working through the fixes on a 2002 S210 Avantgarde estate (well Alex Crow is mostly).
One little problem that should be simple enough for me to fix is the light fitting underneath the glovebox that illuminates the front passenger footwell.
Mine is now duff (probably- not certain what should activate it), but I understand that only the whole unit can be replaced, not just the LED bulb, and I don't fancy just chucking £30 or 40 at Mercedes.
As it was easy to do, I removed the unit (it pulls out easily) and managed to dismantle it - see attached pics (hopefully) below - without breaking anything, so it reassembles.
Does anyone know of an led that might fit, even maybe with a bit of bodging/soldering?
