Amber led head light strip not working

Hello, sorry to ask such a basic question but I'm stumped. I checked the owners manual and did research online but can not find the information. I have a 2015 GLK250 with the intelligent Bi-Xenon lights. The passenger side amber led strip stopped working. I looked everywhere and cannot find a bulb to replace. Can someone let me know how I can repair this issue. Thank you in advance.

I don't think the amber LED strip can be replaced, the entire light housing may have to be replaced. These lights are not cheap, but you shouldn't skimp out on non-OE options because the software will not take kindly to it.

I would check fuses first, then wiring around the headlight. Does the LED strip blink as a turn signal still? Or is it completely dead?

If so, your best bet might be finding a good used OE unit on eBay.

If you need a used headlight assembly try here: HID Headlight
They show a few in Markham and Thornhill. $400ish CAD.

Mine blinks with the blinker or when I unlock the car, but otherwise doesn't work. What do you guys think is the likely culprit?

Me? No idea. Bad connection? Fuse? LED whacked out?

One of ours (right side?) died years ago. Will NOT replace it: $$$$
No one notices it (including law enforcement), so don't care.

( sidenote: we never drive at night, so not important ).
