Had the problem on a E300TD 1999, its caused by the light cluster
circuit
board 'cracking' thus pwr contact is not made to the bulb holder.
You can replace the circuit board yourself, its a simple operation.

If it's a crack in a trace, you can fix the circuit board instead. Simply scrape off abit of insulation on both sides of the crack and solder a bit of wire across it.



...... if you can find the crack!

Touche!
