'09 C300 parking lights won't shut off..
Hi !
New member here. The angel light and rear light on the passenger side of the car will not shut off.
My wife went on a business trip and when she got back yesterday the battery was completely dead. We had to get it jumped and brought it home but we cannot figure out how to turn the lights off.
I'm attaching a couple of pictures.
Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks!

Check your headlight switch on dash. It may be switched to position for parking on street that is used in Europe.

I thought of this too. We have a Porsche that has that switch but the lights that remain on are on the driver's side, not the passenger's.
Are they switchable on the C300? If so where is the switch?

Most likely you turned the switch one space past the off position like shown in the pic.
