No model year was given so here's the general Mercedes-Benz 230SLK brake light bulb lamp replacement procedure: Purchase the correct replacement brake light bulb(s) first, before disassembling the vehicle. See sources and related links below for replacement brake light bulb information. Then consult your owner's manual for the replacement procedure.

You may want to consider replacing both left and right at the same time in order to keep brightness and color equal (optional).
To replace the top right brake light on a 2008 BMW X5, first, open the rear hatch and locate the access panel on the right side of the tailgate. Remove the panel by gently pulling it off to access the brake light assembly. Twist the brake light socket counterclockwise to remove it, then pull out the old bulb and replace it with a new one. Reinsert the socket, secure the access panel back in place, and test the light to ensure it works.

Replace the brake lamp (the one on the right that doesn't go on). Go to a local autoparts store to buy the bulb (usually not more than a few dollars). They might even help you replace it. If it was just a burnt-out bulb, the brake lamp light on the dash should go out once the bulb is working again.
