Recently as I was on vacation at a nice resort in Sedona, I noticed that one of the batch of new Mercedes Benzes in the parking lot had its left hand parking light on most of the day, and all night.
I'm assuming that the light control switch is the same as it is on the older models (MB seems to keep many things the same in terms of interior equipment, which is really interesting to me). And it's quite easy when turning off the headlights to turn the switch one click too far, resulting in this embarrassing condition. Tonight as we drove, we saw a new MB on the highway in front of us and it had an extra red light on on the driver side rear (inboard from the running lamps in the tail light assy, these were the light assys. in the trunk lid). We assumed the boo boo was taking place. But later I realized we were probably wrong, because they had their headlights on, and so I don't know what this red light on the driver side was, besides distracting. I caught my wife making the boo boo the other day too. Any of you out there relate? Brian 83 240D
