License plate lights / lens change-out
FYI -- If your two rear license plate light lens are also discoloring, and maybe cracking too, they are easy to change. Just did mine. Buy two of:
License plate light assembly, with lens and bulb
MB 2308200256
DC 5099804AA
Were $18.75 each for the MBs from Mike at OE Discount Parts
You get the black plastic housings too, but I just replaced the lenses (which each include a rubber o-ring, new screws, and a new bulb).
Two Phillips-headed screws each (use the right size screwdriver -- the heads strip easily. Then carefully pry out each lens with a putty knife -- the o-ring will likely stick, and you are also pulling out the bulb at the same time.

Even parts made specifically for the Crossfire, have a Mercedes part number on them. They may show up on Mercedes cars in the future. The Crossfire specific parts are identified as A 193 XXX XX XX.
