2013 E550 Coupe w/Active Cornering Headlights

Hello.
I have a 2013 E550 Coupe and I am getting the following message:


What I am asking is, does this indicate that the headlight assembly is bad? When I called the dealer, they said there is only a low beam and a high beam bulb... And all bulbs seem to be illuminated. So would it be safe to say I need a new headlight assembly? Or am I overthinking this...

Thanks for any advice!

I think the bulb that needs checking is the light with the orange cover on the side of the main headlight assembly. That might be the cornering light.

Hello, the lights are from the following vin: WDDKJ7CBXAF043342
However, my car's vin is: WDDKJ7DB3DF187902

My car was in an accident and I used these lights when rebuilding.

You are the man! Thank you. So what I am gathering is it should be the bulb listed as "50", an H7 bulb. Any idea if all these bulbs are easily serviceable?

On mine, there are little flap doors in the front fender wells that you can open to easily reach the covers that you unscrew to reach the bulbs. You’ll likely need to turn your wheels to provide more room for the door to open. If I recall, I found that easier on the driver side. On the passenger side, I was fine just opening the hood to reach it.
