Intermitant Light Errors

Hi everyone

I just bought an 01 S500 with 107K kms from the original owner. Has all service done at dealer. When I bought it it had the LF signal light reflector error and I thought it was just the bulb. Then I realized the lights still worked and blinked normally even though it sounded like they were blinking fast from inside the car. So I left it for few days. Then few days of daily driving it actually went away on its own. I looked at the lights and just kind of wiggled and secured the connections. Then few days later right and left error came up. Then went away after the next start up. It was fine again for few days and one day it had the error for both low beams. Then that went away after a restart. During all these errors I checked but the lights were all working fine. Just curious if anyone has experienced this before. I can change all the bulbs but seems like the issue might be something bigger then that since the errors go away and come back. Any insight would help. Thanks!

Check the bulb housings for corrosion.
