Lightbulb Light In Engine Bay
Hey Guys,
I just noticed something, when i turn on my headlights, i can actually see yellow light in the engine bay when i open the hood.. I tried with my W210 and no light is present in the engine bay.

PS: I also hear buzzing sounds from my left low-beam headlamp, it comes and goes when it wants to. No warning signs or errors.
Is that normal or am i missing something here ?

Your running light turns on?
Maybe it came out of place and is dangling around in there

After market euro impact strips?
Did you yourself put them on?
I know some people dont disable the side marker light
Could have been tucked away somewhere and now came out and you can see it.
No other thing there that has light really
Unless of course you have lost a dust cap to your fog light then maybe that's the culprit

The car is an European Version so it comes without the markers from the factory.

I believe i lost the dust caps then because i can clearly see the fogs light when they are turned on.

Thanks!
