You can replace it yourself. Instructions are in the manual.

It is very likely the bulb. The low beam gets much more use and most often fails first.

fluorescents are about 5x as efficientso a 12W will give about as much light
Hi, Take off the plastic cover to the back of the light and its the top bulb in the light unit, take off the the leads to the bulb, unclip the metal holder and take the bulb out. replace bulb with new one. I have just changed mine to Ice Blue bulbs. Is looks great and so much brighter than the other ones that where in the car.Some details to help the above answer:The low beam and the high beam have the same mechanism. When you remove the plastic cover (the tab is on the top press down and swing out), the low beam bulb is the one on the top and the high beam the one below it.The clip has a U shape tab at one end and two legs at the other end. The center of the clip presses against the bulb and holds it. You need to push the U shape tab to the left (facing the car) to unhook it from the bracket.It becomes much easier if1. You use a flashlight or portable light to illuminate the back of the fitting while carrying out the procedure so that the clip is clearly visible.2. Use (needle-nose) pliers to move the wire clip left (when facing the car) than your fingers.3. Do not unclip the bottom portion of the clip. Just release the top as in the answer above and gently let it swing out and down while still attached at the bottom. The bulb can be removed this way. After you place the new bulb, you can just swing back the clip and hook it back to the top bracket.

First, check all your fuses and relays. Find the fuse for brake lights and check/replace it. Then, M-B cars are prone to oxidation on their lamp holders--the small plastic part that holds the actual light bulb. First, try some very fine grit sandpaper (400 or so) and clean all these terminals, and then put in a new bulb. A new bulb costs very little and you might as well replace the old one anyway. Put the new bulb and bulb holder in, and see if this works. If not, try cleaning the terminal on the lamp housing it remove any oxidation there as well. It would be odd to have all 3 lights fail. Much more likely to be a fuse or bulb and holder issue.
$13 plus 5 minutes of your time.
For two CV Boots on a 2002 Mercedes I was quoted $1800 and change. I'm looking for a cheaper solution.
