[W124] Light out sensor on 92 300CE

[Kevin Smith]

Hi Ben,
 
I have a 93 300E which had the exact same problem. What I found out was
this:
 
1)       check to see that all the bulbs are the correct bulbs, this is
critical, if you are using the wrong bulb the bulb may work but you will get
a light out sensor light
2)       check and make sure that your rear brake light on the back dash is
working and is using the correct bulb, this was where my problem was. This
drove me crazy but I finally solved the problem. I also had a few of the
wrong bulbs installed in different places. Mercedes uses their own bulbs
which look identical to US counterparts BUT THEY ARE NOT ! ! !  I REPEAT
THEY ARE NOT ! ! ! ! !  I bought a ½ dozen bulbs at my dealer and went
through the entire car. NOW it’s fine.
 
I hope this helps you.
 
           Kevin

I have been reading the comments about warning lights on my 300CE .... it
had the "light out" warning on when I bought the car and I took it back to
the dealer.  His mechanic rigged up a parallel wire to the front parking
light which allowed it to get power, but I still have the "light out" signal
on the dash.  How can I eliminate that situation; cut the original wire,
find the block where it originates and check all the old wiring to the
parking light or ???  Thanks, Ben Carter
