Intermittent Parking Lamp Blinking
Hope someone can shed a light on this. All my lights are fine except for the front right parking lamp. It goes off for 5 secs, back for 1 sec and then off for 5secs again. All other lights are normal. Its a 2005 C240 if that matters.
Video of the blinking
Thank you in advance!!

That's a city light. There's no turn signal bulb in there. In fact, the 2 bulbs in there are both not the flashing variety. One is the high beam, and the other is the city light which is constant on when the engine is running.
The actual turn signal bulb is above the low beam (upper L corner of the headlight).
First, the obvious stuff.
Is your headlight switch turned to 0 or Automatic, as opposed to Parking lamp mode?
Have you tried switching the bulbs between L and R side?
Has the headlight electrical system or wiring been modified from stock?

In the video, its on Parking lamp mode but same thing happens on Auto or parking lamp or low beam. Doesn't happen at 0.
Didn't try switching bulbs between L and R. I'll try that.
All stock, no modification.
