Can anyone tell me what is this thing under the hood? It's pre facelift c63s coupe.
It's definitely not OEM and I am trying to figure out what previous owner did here
Some sort of aftermarket ballast for your lights. No idea why as your lights look like normal W205 prefacelift ones. Unless they were damaged and replaced by knockoffs?
Thank you all for the replies and suggestions.
I tried googling number of this thing but nothing comes out.
I have done more photos and it's indeed connected to the lights. On the the left side of the car the wire goes to the white connector. On the right side the wire is different and it goes somwhere below, deep in the hood, hard to say where exactly as it's really tight in there. Right side, thin cable Left side, thick cable

Lights look stock with all the right logos for your country, Poland (as you stated on your public profile).
I guess the previous owner had aftermarket headlights before and removed it before selling it? As others asked, do you mind checking if those "things" you mentioned are currently plugged in somewhere? Either I am missing something but the images you shown there doesn't clearly show if those "things" were plugged in.

"Problem" solved
not sure if you are serious or just joking (if you are joking, I'm sorry about this comment...) but the blue DRL is normal when you unlock the car at night in anywhere other than North America. It flashes blue then turns to white. It is indeed OEM. here is a good example: youtube.com/watch?v=0FbePR4T_Tc
W205C43PFL left side is connected to this white plug (5h and 6th photo of my previous post) and second cable goes somwhere deep in the hood, right side it's hard to say but also wires go somwhere deep in the hood.
It's really tigh there and I can't find where these cables go exactly.
Anyway, thanks for your help.
In two weeks I have A1 service so I will ask guys in the shop to check exactly where these "things" are connected and what they exactly do.

Yup the images didn't help too much with figuring it all out, sorry I wasn't too helpful.
Thanks for your update and your reply as well, I guess asking the guy at the shop to check is a wise decision of yours, please keep us posted.
