Where to locate fuse for brake/tail light on a 2007 mercedes benz gl450

Unfortunately, you vehicle has 3 different fuse panels. If you look under your rear cargo deck (where the tool kit is), you will hopefully find a "fuse map". I believe the tail lamp fuse should be in the rear fuse panel.
I'm not sure where you live, but in Canada there is also a campaign to replace the tail/brake lamp sockets.

Used Mercedes Benz GL450 2007

over 80% of mercedes ever made are still on the road in use,only volvo can beat this fact with over 90%.
keep it serviced at 10k intervals,and it should last 30 plus years.
bodywork is galvanised,so look after paintwork(1 dent/scratch will knock over $1000 off the price...)only buy if full leather and keep it fed.
