What I cant see is how the back outer cover (around the trunk lock) 
comes

off. MB manual is extremely vague.


The black plastic inside cover?  It snaps on.  Then IIRC you can
access the hatches where the lock, etc. go inside the wall.

Problem is getting to the lamp socket. The bulb clips to the lens which
comes out. Cant get to the wire connections without taking  the outer cover
off.
Yeah I can drill a hole through the trunk and duckt tape a light to the car.
Remember I said the lights flicker on when wiggling the harness where it
goes inside the cavity.

 Check the ground.  Try cleaning and soldering the wire to the bulb
 holder.  If nothing else works, solder the wires to the bulb.

 Or you could try finding an LED of about the right brightness and solder
 it in.  Use shrink tube filled with non-conductive grease, petroleum jelly
 or RTV silicon form a gasket to keep water out of the joints.

The Lead-sled flunked inspection because the license plate lights are not
working.
Problem is the wire coming from the LH taillight has a loose connection at
the bulb holder. If I wiggle the lights flicker.
How does that thing come out?
If not, any suggestions how to cheat?
TIA
