Front Side Marker Lights

At freeway speeds, after about 4 to 8 minutes, I get the message "left front marker light out", followed, a few minutes later, by "right front marker light out". When I stop, both light are working fine, and when I re-start the car the message disappears. I never get the message driving around town. Has anyone else had the mystery? My car is a 2005 E320.

Maybe some kind of loose connection?

Why don't you have it checked by dealership? Even though, you don't see the error message now, it should be stored in system already if you really saw that message

The European W211 has no side markers. Search on here for "euro impact strips" and you'll find some pics. The clear side markers is an aftermarket US thing.

Do the check the connection on the bulb, could just be loose. Try replacing them, they aren't much.
