2009 Mercedes Benz C350 lights complaints

A dashboard warning indicator came on, indicating my right rear tail light was not functioning. I opened up the trunk, and located the harness that holds the rear tail light bulbs. There was a burn mark in the harness that holds the light bulbs. I took the car to my dealership, and they told me the wiring shorted out, and it needs replaced. I have the pdf file that the dealer sent me indicating this is what happened.... There is an outstanding nhtsb complaint filed already...

Passenger side rear brake light, directional signal, side marker, and rear light not operational. It started with the directional signal working on and off, it would work for a week or two and then once in a while it would malfunction. Now none of the lights are operational. Upon inspecting the inside of the socket assembly one of the wires looked completely corroded and upon touching it was very hot when the lights were on.
