I haven't been able to get new ones...so I purchase "decent" ones from others who are parting out similar models.

Unfortunately, those have had as much exposure to the heat as my original, so they tend to be as brittle.

Seems odd that this is a Mercedes part, as it's the only shoddy component I have run into so far...I might consider swapping out with some aftermarket alternative if I can get it to work with the "bulb out" indicator.
