2012 ML 350 Side Mirror Lighting Question

The side mirrors have two clear plastic strips that wrap around to the back side of the mirror. Should they light up or blink when the turn signal is initiated? What should they do? Thanks!

Yes they are the side turn signal indicators.

Thanks. The rectangular edge of each side mirror flashes with the turn signal, but what about the back of the mirror? Should it light up and/or flash to oncoming traffic?

It's mostly an aesthetic design, the entire length of the turn signal will illuminate but the edge having the most LEDs will be the brightest as it is there to worn drivers alongside of you.

Unless something changed,yes they should illumnate at the same time the edge illuminates. Put on your hazard lights and step out of vehicle to confirm

Side Mirror lights

Thanks, folks. Turning on the emergency flashers showed me what I needed to see.
