I have a 1996 E 320 and when the car is running and I turn on the headlights the message Lamp Defective appears across the console, but all lights work. What is causing this message.

Maybe a lic. plate lamp?

Yes, look for license plate lights.
Also, if a wrong wattage bulb was ever put into a socket, that could be the problem. Each bulb needs to be the EXACT specs that the manufacturer has them set as. Also, check and replace all exterior light related fuses. There could be a hairline crack undetectable to the naked eye.
Good luck.

My vote is for the...
 
...license plate light as well. My lamp-out warning light kept coming on as well. All the lights checked out OK and it was driving me crazy, until I looked at the reflection on the rear chrome bumper. It was only then that I saw that one of the license plate lights was out.
