I think it's the active cornering foglamps. I think that is an option that comes with the lighting package on some models.
from mbusa:
"2006 Packages
319 Lighting Package
Bi-Xenon High Intensity Discharge Headlamps with Active Curve Illumination and Heated Washers
An electrified arc of xenon gas generates a brighter, blue-white light from the low beam that more closely approximates the eye's perception of natural daylight. These High Intensity Discharge Headlamps are self-leveling to help reduce glare and curve with the road to give you the best night vision possible. Heated, high-pressure washers are included."

Say for example, I signal to make a left hand turn. My left hand fog light will come on and remain on until the turn is completed or i unsignal turning left. The same applies for the right side

Oh hey! Yea i remember you guys showing up. Didn't get a chance to chat as Steve was pretty much finishing up and we had to go aim the lights outside before leaving. I remember seeing Steve hand you a metal plate for your car, but after that, i didn't get a chance to see what he was doing for your ride as we left.
Oh, and i gotta say, those Smart cars definately need to be released here in the states. The three that I saw last weekend during the light install were amazing.

Steve gave me the steel carter plate for my car. Thing weighs a ton. He didn't do much to my car, just some quick version coding for fuel content and the Netherlands setting. You seemed really happy that night. 
I hope your lady friend didn't wait too long in the car. I didn't realize there was someone in the car until you were leaving.

Well, my lady friend (wife actually) actually did wait in the car for awhile before Steve was able to get to me. I think she may have startled Steve as well when he went to pop the hood after I pulled the car into the garage . She didn't mind waiting as she was studying for the BAR exam which she will be taking out in Ontario this upcoming week. Besides, I bribed her with dinner afterwards, so she was happy.
How do you like the Netherlands setting? I was contemplating getting that done as well, but I am on the fence about it.

I had a feeling she was your wife or significant other. Just didn't want to assume things. I wish her luck on the exam.
The Netherlands setting is pretty cool. I can now lock my car and not have to look back to see if it locked and on top of that I didn't lose my panic button. The beeps are reversed when compared to other cars though. Typically one beep is to lock and 2 or 3 beeps means unlock. It's the other way around on the MB. Sounds similar to the Lexus beeps. It's painless, you won't regret it.

As I'm in St. Louis, MO, I doubt very much that Steve will ever visit here. Maybe Chicago, but not here!

Nothing MB related (sorry)
SteveL1 - we have had customers from MO (St. Louis too!) coming over to Chicago to get some mods installed... and my brother visited St. Louis in the past as well, just to do installs. As long as travel expenses get compensated, he is willing to go pretty much everywhere.

Need help replacing w5 bulb in bi-xenon headlight
How do I get the bulb out to replace it? I opened the cover on the heaadlight and was able to get the High beam bulb out, but for the life of me, I couldn't figure out how to get the little w5 bulb out.
Since I retro'd 03+ Bi-Xenon's to my 02 car, the manual is of no help
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

a quarter mile at a time
feel around underneath the high beam bulb for the little w5 bulb. Once you find it just tug on it and the whole plug+bulb will pull out. Once it's out, replace the bulb, then you get to find the hole again to push everything back in. good luck
