Hi mikeyyyallday,


I had a similar experience with my '13 sedan/p31 but it was the back lights. The message "check right rear brake light" followed by right and then "check right rear light" followed by the left light. I checked them all and had my wife check as I activated the turn signal and stepped on the brake pedal and all of them work! This happened at about 800 miles into owning the C63 but it has never happened again. In your case could it be one of the side lamp bulbs or have you tried just activating the parking lamps to see if one is out? By the way, how has the surf been lately? We are having back to back swells and it's supposed to be double over head by Thursday.

What about your side marker?

I actually got the same error yesterday but it said left side marker instead. I've had it before and it wouldn't work and when i restart the car it's fine and working. Same thing happened this time. Perhaps it's a faulty wire connection.

Sorry, don't mean to highjack, but Strat are you in California? Thursday is supposed to be awesome, but there were some fun peaks out this morning in South OC.

Check your eyebrow lights. I've got one out as I wait for a replacement for a defective AZN LED. I get the same message.

Remember, there are two bulbs in each eyebrow, so it will still light up, one side just won't be as bright.

Eyebrows as well. You probably have a faulty LED bulb.
Switch them and see how it goes.

Had the message when test driving the car. Picked up the car, message showed up a few days later but everything was working fine, even eye brows. Went away after a day and hasn't come back since

I was getting this a lot when I first picked up my car a few months ago. Again I'd check to see what the issue was and I couldn't see anything not working. So I ignored it. It would come back and go off. But now it seems to have given up warning me about it.

My will overcame the car's will. Win.
