Alternators
hey all, weirdest shit happened to me today at the dealership. my rear driver's side brake light kept blowing out so i replaced the bulb a bunch of times and it kept blowing. i eventually replaced the whole panel and the same bulb kept blowing out. i took it in to have it checked out at the MB dealer and they said it was the alternator?! that's beyond me but who am i to argue. they gave me a ballpark figure of around 400 for the part and blah blah for labor, etc. and it looks like it's going to be about 600+. f#$% that.
that price seems way too high to me, since i see some bosch alternators online for 98 C230 for around 150 or less. thoughts?

Hmmm maybe the voltage rectification/regulation was poor on the alternator...that could cause bulbs to blow...it could also cause other unprotected stuff to blow also
