Parking Light Resistor

Hello Everyone -

I'm looking for a bit of help to identify the in-line resistor on the power (gray) wire of 1999 E430 parking lights. It looks like mine is likely defective & I need to replace it. Not sure if Mercedes (or their supplier) didn't mark it well, or maybe mine's just old enough to be difficult to read, but I can't identify the resistance visually.

Thanks in advance for your help.

So I've learned the in-line "resistor" I found is actually an in-line fuse, on the power wire for the parking lights (grey wire & in-line fuse). Anybody else have troubles with this piece?? Sounds like several have done a work-a-round by removing the old & installing their own 1A fuse on the line. Thought I'd check here to see if anyone's done something similar.

Thanks for your help. One way or another I know I'll find a work-around for this thing soon.
