W221 Style
Removing
- Open your trunk and take the cover out.
- There are four screws, remove them (see below).
LED board
For the break light W220 taillights use LED board.
A2208200411 - right
A2208200311 - left
There seem to be two versions of LED boards. V2.2 which has square LED bulbs and V2.5/V2.6 which has round LED bulbs.
Replacing LED bulbs
The whole LED board unit is expensive. LED bulbs can be replaced by soldering.
- Remove the taillight from vehicle.
- Take the circuit board out, it is attached by one screw (see below).
- Use a 12v adapter by connecting it to the circuit board and see which bulbs are damaged.
- Remove damaged bulbs and install new ones using a soldering iron. Make sure the new led lights are positioned the same exact way the old ones were, otherwise they will not work.
- Once this is done, you can insert the circuit board back into the car. Make sure prior to this all the lights are working.
You can buy square LED bulbs by using this keyword "LED 7.62MM 638NM ALINGAP RED CLR - LTL912SEKSA".
