I always replace both sides. My thought is that the bulbs are technically meant to have the same life, so if they were put in at the same time it’s likely that the other side is also close to the end of its life. The rear taillights are accessible by opening the trunk and removing the trunk liner just behind the lights. It’s been a while since I did this one. All bulbs are on a rack, the rack can be pulled back, all bulbs are inserted into the rack and then the rack is reinserted. I don’t think there is a rear side marker on the car…it’s not with me right now so I can’t check.
They were Nexen tires, just changed them out about 4 months ago. 225/45/R17. I don’t remember the model of the tire but then don’t make the ones I had anymore.
Thank you for the very informative video Pete. Knowing where to access the lamp was key. 🙂
Do you always replace both sides? Is the rear tail light the same process?

Thank you, Pete, Question? What brand tires you're running?
I have a 2009 C300 and my tires don't match yours.
