Newly widowed here and having the half the LED's go out on the left side taillight of my 2014 E350 was one more stress I didn't need. I ordered a new assembly and after watching your video, I decided this was something I could do myself. And I did! New light fits perfectly and works just like it should. The part alone was $300 but I wanted original Mercedes product. If I'd taken it to my auto mechanic or, god forbid, to the Mercedes dealer, my guess is that the cost would have been 3-4 times that amount. Thank you, Boss Adams Garage!
Going to tackle this same project myself later this week when replacement part arrives for my wife's 2014 E350. Video was very helpful. Thank you for creating and posting it!
Do you mind sharing where you purchased your replacement part? Bought one via Amazon and installed it today but brake lights did not work on the assembly and fit was not as good as OEM, so in need of another part that fits and works. Thank you.

Thanks for the video it helped me a lot. You don’t have to remove the felt piece at @3:14 at all. It is super easy to change the lights without removing that. The three 8mm bolts are super easy to access through the access panel that they give you. I used a screw driver attachment instead of a socket wrench.
Dear Boss Adam Garage, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for your fantastic video on replacing the driver taillight for my E-350. Your clear and detailed explanation made the procedure straightforward and manageable. Thanks to your guidance, I am able to complete the task with confidence. I appreciate the time and effort you put into creating such helpful content. I ordered the part, waiting for delivery soon. I must say, I have to watch the video a few times to make sure I do know what I am doing!😀😀😀😀😀Thank you once again!
@@bossadamsgarageI need to replace the rubber that hold the center caps, when taking the caps off the rubber was so worn. The caps are in but I still need those rubber pieces. What is the name of those rubber pieces? I ordered the light from the store you posted in the description and it came today! My neighbor help me installed the part. You rock sir!
Your instructions were very good and they were very complete; however if you have two people doing the job one person can easily hold up part of the molding with their fingernails and nothing has to be removed. We did complete the job in 15 minutes as you suggest; I would also add that since the wire connector is much more easily disconnected with the lamp outside of the fender; it also makes it easier to connect it before reinstalling the lamp inside so that you can ensure that the lamp is operating properly prior to fastening the lamp with the 3 nuts..
Just a quick note: I didn't undo the trim and the light popped right out. No need to peel back inside lining of the well as they were very visible. Thanks for the video!
I hear ya about those 8-10mm nuts dropping down into the abyss. I've learned (sometimes) to just go slow and have a magnetic dish/tray nearby to toss them in once they're removed. Nice work!
Thank You! Although I am sure I would have figured it out this was helpful. My son brought our 2015 home after Date Night and the LED's have dropped out on one side. New Part in hand, waiting for it warm up a tic and I will go swap er' out.
So my tail light turn signal only works sometimes. Does anyone know if that's a sign that i need to change the tail light or is it electrical issue ? Anyone ?
Could just be an electrical issue. You would need to test the wires running to the light. However, to replace the light, it's really not that expensive.
If you know how to disassemble the taillight housing and replace the individual LEDs, for sure. But, if you don't know how to do that, replacing the entire taillight is the way to go. There is no bulb in this taillight.
I'm not sure about that. The only thing I could think of is the bulbs you're running up in your front blinkers are not working with the electrical system. Could be and LED issue or the need for a resistor.
@@bossadamsgarage the headlights are working fine but I put my new left tailigjt in and it flashed normal but I’m the dash it’s flashes quickly and shoes me a message in the dash *check rear right turn signal * it’s rlly bothering me lol

Thank you!
I agree video is Betty helpful
Great video ! Thanks man ! I was killing myself trying to find light bulbs online to buy and never knew I had to replace the whole tail light ! Lol
I appreciate it! Ya, it's a little annoying that you have to purchase a new housing but the installation is fairly straight forward!
Thanks to your educational video I swapped my taillight effortlessly!
Glad I could help!
Do you have to swipe the whole rear light unit ? It doesn’t just have changeable bulbs ?
Thank you for your slow methodical approach in changing the light.
No problem! Glad I could help!

bro, thank you for this video, bear hug, and hello from Miami, FL
No problem! Glad I could help!
Thank you! Needed this for my 2014 E350 as well. Any videos on the inside tail lights?
It works. Thanks for the detailed video 👍

I believe its a common faulty part on this year model mercedes. Definitely worth fixing yourself though!
How do you know the taillight doesn’t have bulbs to replace?
The taillights on these cars have built in LEDs.
Hey man these look fantastic, was wondering on how they’re holding up. Would appreciate any input
2 years later, this taillight still looks really good and all the LEDs are still as bright as they were when I made the replacement.
So my tail light turn signal only works sometimes. Does anyone know if that's a sign that i need to change the tail light or is it electrical issue ? Anyone ?
Could just be an electrical issue. You would need to test the wires running to the light. However, to replace the light, it's really not that expensive.
@bossadamsgarage Thanks 🙏👍
Can you just replace the bulb?
If you know how to disassemble the taillight housing and replace the individual LEDs, for sure. But, if you don't know how to do that, replacing the entire taillight is the way to go. There is no bulb in this taillight.
I have new taillights but my it still flashes quickly on the dashboard but not on the tailigjt idk why
I'm not sure about that. The only thing I could think of is the bulbs you're running up in your front blinkers are not working with the electrical system. Could be and LED issue or the need for a resistor.

Is it the same on the right side
Exactly the same set up on the right side. Definitely worth the time to do the project yourself.
I don’t ever take my cars to the dealership it’s insane how much they mark up compare to regular shops. Only go if it’s free/included with your cars purchase/warranty.
Agree!!
why did you change?
Thanks a lot!..
Glad I could help!
Nice!!!
Where did you purchase the light? The dealership told me $1350!!!
That's exactly why I did it my self. I got the part from 1AAuto www.1aauto.com/2014-mercedes-benz-driver-side-outer-tail-light-diy-solutions-lht09525/i/1altl03436/1521675/2014. Their parts have treated me well in the past.
Hows the quality/fitment versus the original
aftermarkt or originale
It's an OEM replacement.
U can easily fix it
