LED ILS: is this normal??

I just got my C200 for a few days but theres 1 thing thats bugging me

I have the ILS LED package and when I unlock my car at night one side

of the LED lights up first and after 2-3 seconds the other one lights up.

After googling I see videos where the LED lights up simultaneously. but mine

delays for about 2-3 seconds. Should I be worried? Anyone else with this issue?



The one side lights up first


Than the other side lights up

Hi there,

Please take your car back to the dealer. Looks like the timing of the lights needs to be synchronized. This is not normal.

How could anyone believe a car dealer telling you that such a thing is normal?! Wow.

Double check the light switch??

In all MB there is the left and right maybe you have switched it to the left by mistake

do they stay on after you lock it ???




make sure it's on Auto and not a bit to the left or right of the P position

as such issue might accrue. I'm not sure though worth mentioning and checking
