Mystery lamp message?
My CLK55 has decided that I need to know about a defective lamp. Thoughtful of her, yes, but a bit confusing. I can't find any burned out bulbs!
Any ideas what might be causing this? I get the warning every time I turn on the lights....

You've checked the license plate bulbs too, right? If so, do you have any aftermarket bulbs? Some aftermarket bulbs have higher resistance than MB bulbs, which causes a lamp defective light to come on.

Didn't think in the plural for the license plate - I'll have to check that this evening - thanks!
