It completely takes the circuit board out of play and hardwires a new bulb socket to the brake wire and ground wire. I installed it flawlessly and and have two functional brake lights again! The best part is the kits from Mercedes totaled about $40 for both sides, $20 a kit.

Here is the part number, you will need two kits 164-826-00-07.

Simply wire in the red wire to the brake light feed wire and the brown to ground. Install the twist bulb holder in the taillight just like you removed the factory one and done!

Enjoy your fixed once and forever taillights and enjoy the savings!


miight look into this.so the kit comes with those wires attached and you tapped into the said wires in the brake light harness?
