Today when I turned on my car showed up a message to check the left tail or brake light. I just kept on driving and about half and hour after, I got another message to check the rear right signal light. This seemed kind of strange to me two bulbs blown in different places all of a sudden.

Has anyone experienced this issue?

Thanks

I had that problem with my tail lights, it turns out the wiring that was done started to burn off due to horrible wiring.
I went to mercedes benz dealer and they basically gave me the black male connector for like 5-10 a piece and i just redid the wiring connectors, and it worked like a charm.

Do you get out and do a visual inspection to confirm?

I did check the signal light problem; and it is not working. Haven't checked the stop or tail light. I will tomorrow check the bulb itself. It was just a curious issue that two bulbs the same day and in a different lamps stopped working

I see it happen often.

Not sure how old your vehicle is, but I'd like to think it's extremely good quality control and that all of your old bulbs have hit their life expectancy with pin point accuracy.

I'd also like to think that I'll have the winning powerball numbers tonight.

Sadly for you, I probably have better odds on the latter.

I think winning the powerball tonight will solve any problem right now!

My car is 2008. Maybe that could be the problem; who knows. But I've never seen any car blowing up so many bulbs in such a ahoet notice. I would think that a brake or tail light should last leas than a signal light because of the usage.

I finally checked the issue. The grey plastic where the bulbs are mounted melted. I spoke with a certified mechanic and he told me that this happens to all these models. Also told me that the problem wouldn't be sold if the cable and plugs weren't replaced also. He also recommended me to replace both sides because it will happen eventually.
