how to replace bulb in plates lights?

[bbalaban]

Hi guys !

Anyone knows how to replace the bulb in my (back of course) plates lights. It is a w208 but I think it should be very similar.

Thanks!

P.S.Anyone knows of a good forum for w208, I expect not as good as this one...

on the 202 there is like 3 screws...or u can get it from the inside by taking off the carpet stuff from the trunk lid

two or three screws holding on the housing. then pull off.

It's obviously different, because when I take off the trunk handle (3 screws) I see the lights but there's nothing to be pulled off, I think I could easily break the stuff. It seems that carpet removal is the only solution, although I cannot understand such stupid solutions.

Thank you guys anyway!

or you could remove the trunk cover lining if youre bored. you should see the 2 bulbs right away
