Is it possible for you to post videos a bit more frequently. I guess it would bring you also a lot more subscribers. Thanks a lot for these great videos! Is the W222 the only project at the moment? Keep healthy !!! Wish everyone all the best, strength and good health in this scary time!

I was told by the dealer advisor the new Benz don’t have this anymore cause the previous years had a lot of problems so Benz decided to not have them on the new cars anymore, now 1 light went out on mine rear left door handle and the job at the dealership is $600!!! He mentioned the is a lot of labor involved cause as we can see it is a lot of steps just for 1 little light the it might end up going bad again!!! I do take care of my Benz but I’m not crazy to pay that much money for a little light!!! With that money I can pay for rotors and pads in 1 axle!!! So I just wait for the other 3 to go bad and is going to be fine!!! Good luck guys!

The hard bits were removing the LED with the lock knob still attached , getting the handle back on bc the spring holder had sprung back into the door. and forgetting the window bung so had to remove the panel again. The next one will be easy about 30 mins max. PS can you help the luggage cover on my estate is intermittent ie it doesnt always retract when opening the tailgate

One of the door handle lights on my S213 has been dead for a while. After seeing this video and realising how complicated it is to replace it, I decided to take the car to a MB dealer and take advantage of the last couple of months of warranty to get this LED replaced. lo and behold, MB dealer smashed my window while trying to replace the door handle LED and I ended up with no car for a few day until they can source a new glass and replace it. So either this replacement is very difficult or MB dealer didn't know what they were doing. So beware that there is a risk involved if you attempt to do this. Overall I am very disappointed with the way MB has designed this, seem stupid that you have to disassemble the whole door to get to the door handle LED.

I want to know the same thing. What is the reason for taking the window loose? I have W213 (E300). The liner behind the door panel won't come out despite removing the screws on the liner. Does taking the window screw lose have anything to do with this? Video doesn't explain why lock and window should be loosened. Because the video skips over some things, you don't get a full understanding.
