1997 C280 Headlight Indicator

[kaiserh]

3 months ago it came on and ,found out one of the lights went out and I replaced both of them,last week the indicator light came again,it was during the day,I came home to check the lights,there were fine and the indicator was gone,It came on again today and then gone again .

I know it is not normal,but what should I check?loose wires to the headlight assembly ? or something else
any help will be appreciated

thanks

Either you need to clean the contacts of the light your replaced, or maybe the 3rd brakelight is about to go and you havent noticed?

yeah,i guess he's right

one last thing, one of your bulbs might have a loose filament. as you hit bumps in the road it could be making/losing contact and thus your indicator coming up.

thanks for the reply,I thought that indicator was for headlights only,I will check them all and clean the contacts for headlights.and I never thought of the 3rd break light.

thanks again
