i replaced the bulb about 2 1/2 years ago with one from my local mercedes dealer and it continues to slowly warp. I have never noticed the light to stay on. if anyone has one of these junked just sitting in the back yard let me know. they only take about 45 seconds to remove and would fit nicely into a bubble wrapped envelope
