I have received a list with codes when I ordered the vehicle but this is coming from more detailed one which is used for manufacturing your specific car. My friend works at the dealer, she gave it to me but I think you can decode your VIN. There are some websites for that.

I don't have them. I do have keyless go.

rbrylaw

Vic Viper gave the answer we were all missing. Do you have Keyless Go?

OpAmp

No, I don't have Keyless Go. I don't see why the mirror lights would be related to that.

rbrylaw

It evidently does make the determination. I'm in a condo and the guy in the space next to me has a C300 without Keyless Go. His mirrors don't have Puddle Lights.

cyberorth

He's saying door handle lights not mirror light. The mistry lives on...

rbrylaw

I see that now. Still, the guy who parks next to me and doesn't have keyless go and no puddle lights. So, I'm wondering if they're somehow connected?

Well.......we have ourselves a new mystery here. It's like the mystery of the Binnacles in the GLC. Some cars have them like all C300's do. And some cars (ours doesn't). No one has yet figured out positively what causes some to have them, while others don't. Maybe the robots on the manufacturing like take a break at some point while the car is rolling down the line.

CO2010

Yes there is. I can not only shut them on and off, but also set the delay. Both can be found under the vehicle settings menu.

I pitched this thread in the c63 board to see if ANY c63s have it. If it's not a c63 option that excludes part of the mystery.

Another theory could be that cars with reversing camera or 360 may not get it. This is because mb ***** footed on 360 availability for a while last year and there were some confusion as to whether it is available on 205 platform. Remember that the cameras go under the mirrors as well. Mb may have pulled these lights for a period of time to resolve the situation.

Based on this theory, any kind of back up camera on some 2016s might remove these lights even though they are not related. Just my thoughts of course.

OpAmp

Yep, I have the exact same settings there, and that's how I noticed half the locator lights were basically missing. =/

That's interesting, because I do have the rear camera. I'm slightly annoyed by this and the fact that I had foggy headlights that had to be replaced, and that remote start never works!

Side note: Verizon supports brace in the us. Check Verizon reception in the areas you are trying to remote start.

To correctly identify an MB part number you refer to their Electronic Parts Catalog aka EPC

I have a 2015 model with 360 (in the UK), and the side mirror lights are an integral part of the 360 camera set-up.

When the 360 is activated, the side mirror lights come on (even when driving) in order to light up the area around the side of the car. In the dark, the 360 would struggle to show anything on either side of the car without these lights...

My well equipped 2015 C300 Sport has the rear view camera, and electric folding outside mirrors WITH puddle lights.

Same on my 2016

In USA, C300, not sport or luxury, with folding mirrors, full keyless go and backup camera, no multimedia option. I bought the car new in June 2015. It has lights under the door handles and under the mirror.

cyberorth

Alright this is stupid!
Chames81 has a good point regarding the need for these for lighting the sides as is in my GL63.
Lets look at production dates. Mine is 11/16 no LED.

OpAmp

Well, the dealership said that they removed the lights at some point on the 2016 production line. Mine was built December 2015 and I don't have the lights, so looking at this thread, he seems to be right. Maybe they are now only included if you have the 360 camera system.

cleankutazn

My c450 was built 12/15 and I have the puddle lights.

dnice-1

C300 12/15 build no 360 yes mirror puddle lights.

Would / could blind spot assist be the reason? Mirror glass would differ so perhaps the housing does now s well??

StanNH

March, 2015 production, multimedia, and my car has the lights under the side view mirrors.

cyberorth

Interesting. Although the led would take minimal space and the housing is quite bulky.
