Sooooo, do you think Mercedes makes great cars, or overpriced poorly designed crapola... Ponder this for a moment... If your VW burns out a taillight, what do you do? You buy an 1157 bulb for less then $2, and you put it in yourself.
But Mercedes does things differently...
This is one of those new style LED taillights. And it stopped working correctly. So what to do???
See all those electronic goodies in the back? Guess what Mr. Mercedes owner, you need to buy the ENTIRE assembly in order to make your lights work again. Good thing it is quite cheap at a little less then $500 plus installation!!!! Why do engineers design stupidity like this and why do people continue to buy it??? |

Holy crap! What a scam. Yup, I'll be sticking with regular bulbs for as long as the powers that be allow me to. I have maintained for some time now the line that LEDs are more environmentally friendly is a crock. Look at all that plastic that now has to be dealt with. Oh sure it can be recycled, but at what energy cost? Seems nobody wants to consider the entire energy cycle of things, and instead try to dupe us into believing that LEDs in our home and elsewhere save us energy. I'd have to see the math on a bigger scale to believe it. Okay, I will get off my soap box now. Getting back to this light… I guess that's what you get for buying Mercedes….  |

how about the 456 ferrari, the third brake light is LED and is bonded to the rear window... when it burns out the replacement is only $6500 but it comes with a free back window,installation not included, oh, the part is back ordered,care to get on the waiting list?  |

Why do engineers design stupidity like this and why do people continue to buy it??? This is what happens when a technician bangs an engineers wife.
Revenge.
