08 C350 Running Light Issue - Help Please
I have an issue with my running lights, sorry kind of long but want to clearly outline my issue as I need help. I had one of the DS eye brow bulbs go out a couple months ago so I figured I would take the opportunity to change them all out for LED's to match my headlights. PS went fine - unplug, change, check, reinstall. I started on the DS and I changed the eye brow bulb that was working, no issue. Changed the next one that was out and nothing, no light. I changed the side marker light that was working and it is now out. I found the fuse layout online and given the descriptions are not very good I checked every fuse under the hood and in the trunk to ensure there were no issues. Broke out my test light and it seems to be a power issue to both sockets, ground seems fine. I pulled all of the relays out to check for corrosion but they all looked good. After I did that I flipped the light switch and now both eye brow lights are working and the side marker light with the old bulb. Swapped the old marker light out for the LED bulb and it is out again... I pulled the DS inner fender and headlight to see if I could see a wire issue but everything is well wrapped and I don't see any issues. My next focus is on the relays but I cannot find a layout or description of them any where. If someone has another idea or has the relay descriptions please let me know.
Thank you for your help!

I am not sure, there are no dash messages. How would I reset or address this? I have the physical bulbs in the sockets. I also checked the LED bulb on my multimeter and the circuit seems to be fine.

Have to reset the SAM by power cycling the vehicle. Lights off, turn engine on, then off, then turn lights back on.
