New member and "newb" question

I am new to the forum and I purchased a pre-owned 2013 C350 4MATIC coupe (15K miles) last weekend (please excuse the poor quality cell phone pic) .


I am still learning my way around my new car and I have a "newb" question: Is the outer ring of the headlight switch illuminated? On my C350 the center knob of the switch lights up but the outer ring does not (which I thought was rather strange).

No, the ring is not illuminated. I actually only have the 250, someone with the 350 should be able to confirm this but it should be the same on both models.

Thank you for your reply. I would agree that it's probably the same on the 250 and the 350 models since its the same part number for the headlight switch.

Definitely the same on all C Class variants


This also applies to all other MB models fitted with the same switch, so you cannot just swap it out of another model in case that's what someone wanted to do.
