Benz camera light

Answer 1

The car license plate light is located above or on both sides of the vehicle license plate. Its main function is to illuminate the vehicle license plate to ensure that the license plate is clearly visible at night or in low light conditions. This helps the traffic management department identify the vehicle and is also one of the necessary conditions for the vehicle to be legally on the road. From a safety point of view, a clear license plate would allow other road users to accurately obtain vehicle information at any time, so that they could quickly deal with and track in the event of an accident or emergency. In addition, the normal operation of the license plate lights could improve the overall aesthetics of the vehicle.

The common types of faults of the license plate lamp include:
1. Bulb Burned: Bulb used for too long, unstable current or quality problems may cause the lamp to melt, resulting in the lamp not emitting light.
2. Circuit failure: The aging of the circuit, wear and tear, moisture and other factors may cause circuit problems such as short circuit, open circuit, poor contact, etc., affecting the normal operation of the license plate lamp.
3. Damage to the lampshade: Collision, scraping or prolonged exposure to the ultra-violet light may cause cracks, color change or even shattering of the lampshade, affecting the light transmission effect, and may also cause the bulb to enter water or dust, shortening the life of the bulb.
4. Loose light bulb: The vibration of the vehicle may cause the light bulb to become loose, causing it to be in poor contact with the lamp holder and unable to light up normally.

It is recommended to replace the bulb as soon as possible when the right license plate light of the Mercedes-Benz GL-class model fails. When working on safety or security systems, it is best to go to the Mercedes-Benz Franchised Service Center for operation. Inappropriate operation may lead to accidents and safety risks. If the license plate lamp malfunctioned, the dashboard would show that the yellow light bulb indicator light was on and needed to be replaced in time. The Mercedes-Benz license plate lights were turned on at night or when the sky was dark, together with the small lights such as the car outline. Under the correct working condition, the ABS light will go out after starting, indicating that the system is working normally without fault; if the ABS system fails, the light will not go out after starting. To eliminate the fault of the license plate light, you can first remove the positive and negative wires on the battery, wait for 5 minutes, and then install it again. The fault indicator light will go out.

Before replacing the license plate lamp, preparations were needed:
1. Tool preparation: Usually, a screwdriver (depending on the vehicle model, it may be a cross or a straight screw driver), a wrench, a wire wrench, etc.
2. Buy a suitable license plate light bulb: To ensure that the light bulb model and specifications match the original light bulb of the vehicle, you can check the vehicle user manual, consult the car manufacturer, or obtain accurate information from a professional auto parts store. At the same time, you must choose a reliable product.
3. Vehicle parking and safety measures: Park the vehicle in a flat, safe and well-lit place, pull the handbrake, and turn off the vehicle's power.

Different models may have different ways to disassemble the license plate lamp. The general steps are as follows:
1. Open the trunk or the relevant cover of the rear bumper of the vehicle (usually with a Screwdriver to unscrew the screw that holds the cover).
2. Find the installation position of the license plate light (usually on the top or both sides of the license plate).
3. Remove the light bulb's power plug (press or pull out the plug carefully to avoid damaging the plug and wires).
4. Unscrew the screw that holds the bulb or rotate the bulb holder (different models vary).
5. Remove the damaged light bulb (do not use too much force).

Pay attention when installing the new license plate lamp:
1. Lamp installation direction: Make sure that the new lamp is installed in the correct direction (generally, the lamp has a mark or a specific installation position).
2. The plug is firmly connected: insert the light bulb power plug back to its original position to ensure that the connection is tight and not loose.
3. Fixing the light bulb: follow the opposite steps of dismantling and fix the light bulb to the lamp holder (tighten the screw or rotate the holder).
4. Check whether the light bulb is installed firmly: Gently shake the light bulb to check whether it is firmly installed to prevent it from loosening during driving.

After the license plate lamp is replaced, it needs to be tested and checked:
1. Turn on the power of the vehicle, turn on the light switch, and check if the license plate light is lit normally.
2. Check the brightness and color of the lights, which should be in harmony with the other lights of the vehicle.
3. Check the tightness of the lampshade to ensure that it is installed in place and sealed well to prevent rain and dust from entering.
4. A road test check, driving on a safe road for a short time, observing the working state of the license plate light during driving.

In some areas, there were strict laws and regulations on the modification and replacement of vehicle lights. When replacing the license plate lights, it was necessary to ensure that the brightness, color, and installation method of the new bulbs complied with local traffic regulations. Otherwise, it might be considered illegal modification, resulting in the vehicle not being able to pass the annual inspection or be subject to traffic penalties. If you wanted to turn off the light source on the right side of the license plate light displayed on the Mercedes-Benz, you could find the parking light switch and press the switch to turn off the light. The parking light switch was usually located near the handbrake. Some models were specially designed to control the parking light.
