Faulty Bulb Out warning light on W124
 

Hi,

The bulb warning light is coming on without reason. How does the system work is there a control unit that's gone faulty, all the conections at the lights look ok and it's got no aftermarket lights fitted.

Thanks for reading

They're Tricky
 

I.E. "License Plate" lamps?
good bulbs , But metallic contact rail in Rear light(s) doesn't contact the Bulb(s)
contacts.
Good Bulb,But wrong wattage.

you want Osram (European Sylvania) bulbs of the correct wattage.

Oh,yeah it's called the "Exterior Lamp Failure Monitoring Unit" (A.K.A. "N7")

Thanks for the reply, I'll check all the bulbs are the correct type as well, and have a look at the metalic strips to the rear lights. If it still plays up I'll swap the unit now I know where it is.
