My wife saved us 350 Dollars!
Dealer replaced the battery on my 2018 S.
Service writer contacts my wife and says the side maker lights (Scuttles) are not working.I guess the battery blew the bulbs.
Any way my wife asks how much to fix them and she was quoted $147 for the Scuttles and $213 labor.
She said no to that we will take care of it.
I removed the Scuttles yesterday and both bulbs were bad.
Went to my local Oriellys and paid $10 for two bulbs and now they work.

More than likely O'Reilly would have replaced the battery for less as well. They did mine for the price of the battery a couple years ago.
You'd continue to save $$ by finding a reliable independent German motor shop. What your dealer quoted for replacing two light bulbs is extortion.

Smart wife!! Good for her!!
$213 labor??? A child can remove the scuttles.
As you now know, just pop them off, and pop them on.
Take that $350 saved, and apply it towards a new Gucci purse for her!!
