Pictorial DIY - replacing driver side vent wheel light
I've always liked the subtle little touches in the W210, e.g. the light in the vent wheels that provides you with an indication of the vent position at night.
Well, on my car the bulbs seem to have reached end of life - all three died out one after the other over the last few weeks. So I'm busy replacing them all.
Here is a PDF attachment for the first one, that on the driver side. As usual, the normal caveats apply.

When you were in there could you see if the light switch has a backing light. My one is very dark. At night you cannot see if the switch is in the side light or head light position.
Very helpful. A few weeks ago I did my passenger side but did not feel like figuring out the drivers side. The passenger side is much simpler. When pulling off the wood trim I like to use a long screw driver to pry it off from the end
Damn thats alot of work for one little bulb Giving me a flash back from when I had to do the brake light switch...my damn back is still hurting and that was 3 months ago But I have one bulb blown also...If memory serves correct, its in the middle though.
