Hi I am having a W212 facelift version. However, recently i found out left side of my headlamp having 2 stripes of LED daylight, one of it on the outer is yellowish in color instead of the original whitish. Anyone encounter this before knowing what's wrong? Is there any bulb change needed for this?

Any advice is much appreciated.

Do you have the car with lighting package?
Can you post a picture of the problematic area?

Hi, I attached picture of the problematic side. The stripe on the outer part is yellowish instead of the original bright whitish. Headlamp on the driver's side is having no problem. If this picture isn't clear enough I will repost when I try to take it at night.

you can see a little difference in color. A night shot would be better.

May be you should ask the dealer to fix it under warranty.

You can definitely see a difference, talk to the dealer about fixing it under warranty like Pamiboy said

Hello Kaedwin. Were you able to get a new set of headlights under warranty? I am have the exact same issue with my car.

Looks like his last and only post was in 2014 .....

Hehe you're right. I'll ask them myself

I'm wondering if those are CCFL tubes and not true LED? The issue seems to be similar to a failing fluorescent, LEDs tend to either work or not.
Not sure, just wondering.

AFAIK they are all LEDs.

Anyone figured out if it's the ballast issue or do I have to change the whole headlight assembly?

One of my headlamps hockey stick LED strip is turning yellow. And nope, no warranty on a 2014 car

Not liking this. Let us know if you take it to the dealer to sort it out. I’m sure the whole light needs replacing. I have these on the full LED, but just extended my CPO for another 2 years on a ‘14. I don’t want this problem

Posted last year and I got turned down for a replacement. Hope this helps other owners out there. Ok so, I have two 2014 W212's. Same issue with both cars. Long story short, the dealership replaced the entire headlight units for both cars.

First car: Auto highbeam function wasn't working on the driver side so they replaced the driver headlight. The new one was noticeably whiter than the passenger side. They replaced the other one.

Second car: Took the car to the dealer on a rainy day and asked them to compare the headlights to a newer 2016 model. They saw a difference and just replaced both.
