Right hand side DRL/ Parking light fault on W205 C180
Hello, need help on daytime running light fault DRL on MB W205 car C180 2014 yr.
The RHS DRL stopped working. Thought it was the DRL led module.
I swapped it with the LHS and it worked on the left. So the issue is not the DRL module.
I checked all voltages on connectors on both sides and they all give the same values.
The dashboard indicates either daytime running light DRL or parking light fault as it uses the same led tube.
Thank you to advise on possible causes.

After changing this module, the led light was restored. Also, you need to remove the front bumper to access this module.
I had to do it at the MB concessionaire.
Hope this can assist those with similar issues.

if you have turned the headlight switch on and the headlights don’t work, but they work on auto, the switch may be bad.

Were there any error codes for this issue?
Hi
I have the same problem as the original post with dashboard error saying 'Left Daytime Driving Lamp' and 'Front Left Parking Lamp' warning messages
I get two error messages from a home diagnostics tools.
So thoughts are now turning to the headlight module as per your experience.
Before I replace this unit though, did you run any diagnostics codes when you had the error?
Just wondering if my 'Short To Ground' error code would occur if 'led headlight module (circuit board enclosed in a heatsink casing) was also at fault in this case?
Thanks in advance.
Pete

- The output for the standing light has a malfunction. There is a short to ground.
- Communication with the control module 'Multifunction Camera' has a malfunction.

Many thanks
Hello I eventually figured out that the problem was with a defective led headlight module (circuit board enclosed in a heatsink casing) for the right hand side headlight. In fact the day running light/parking light (led eye) connects to this module.
After changing this module, the led light was restored. Also, you need to remove the front bumper to access this module.
I had to do it at the MB concessionaire.
Hope this can assist those with similar issues.
