2013 E class 220 CDI facelift.
Thanks in advance if you can help.
A while ago my offside rear outer light started working only intermittantly. Now the nearside one has developed the same fault. A tap or thump on the lights makes them come on again -for a while. There is an obvious bad connection or sommat inside the light assembly.
As these are aparrently sealed units my stealer will say 2 replacements are necessary. I believe its about £250 a corner plus fitting -as much again at MB according to my indie who is not willing to attempt a repair.
My question is does anyone on here know anybody who repairs these in the North UK preferably.
Im guessing its a bad connection or dry joint on a circuit board inside the lamp cluster
This semes to be fairly common on eclass saloons of 2013 -2014 vintage. I have seen several recently with one light out I saw one tonight on the M6 with only boot tail lights working.
Incidentally there is no dash warning that one or both lights is not working - surely a major safety concern.
