The headlights are the kind that come on when the car is on. What’s that callEd, DRO or DRL or something? I think they might either be some super bright bulbs as they look kinda blue or LEDs that are causing a fault. But they work. I’ll leave good enough alone.
I’ll have to look and see if I can shut that always-on “feature” off with the fancy computer. It annoys me. I’ll dig into the taillights at some point and figure out how to remove them. The RF corner marker fixture in the bumper is broken and the bulb was burned out, I thought I had some but didn’t find any. The fixture is cheap enough on eBay or AliExpress. --FT Sent from iFōn > On Jul 24, 2022, at 12:26 PM, dan penoff.com via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > If it uses taillight socket arrangements similar to the W210 there’s a good > chance t’s just corrosion. > > Youngest son’s 2002 E320 has a reverse light in the trunk lid that is > intermittent.
