Hope this picture helps. I noticed it changes color after start up in just a few seconds.

My husband is handy so if anyone knows of a DIY post for replacement and a part # and place to buy that'd be great.

He did find something about removing wheel and wheel liner to get to it. Is that the same for my model?

Thanks! :smile:

Looks like a xenon bulb dying ?!

Yes the best way to get to it, is to remove the wheel and front part of the wheel arch !

This might help you out if it is xenon :

Could also be the ballast . Swap the bulb from the other side first to check , those bulbs are expensive .

I described the issue to Mercedes and they said the bulb is about to go out, so I went ahead and scheduled an appointment with them because their price didn't seem so bad considering the cost of the bulb ($189 for parts/labor). Thanks everyone!
