headlight problem
this recently just started. my headlights are mostly always on, even when they are switched off and it doesn't show that the lights are on on the dashboard. anyone else have this problem?

Check your day time running lights setting on your odometer computer. It's under settings.

Make sure that your taillights are on at night, too. I see many people (lots of minivans and Lexuses (Lexi?)) running around with DRLs on at night and no taillights or side markers. With most DRLs (IDK about M-B's), only the head lights are on - nothing else. Its an easy way to get rearended.
