I actually removed the instrument cluster early this morning to clean because it's very dusty and nasty inside and the little red fuse in the back is in fact burnt out. Which I believe is why the rest of the dash lights won't come on, but even when they were on the left licensee plate light would still not light up.

It's the weirdest little fuse, I'm guessing that's going to have to be a Mercedes dealer thing and it SHOULD NOT be that expensive, a dollar at most because it's so freakin tiny.
