Description of the problem	Background: in 2014, there was a recall of c-class mercedes benz vehicles due to corrosion on the connectors of the rear tail light causing the light to fail. Mercedes benz fix front light connectors - new issue: left front parking light is inoperable and the dashboard warning message came on. Went to the dealer to have the parking light bulb replaced. The mechanic verified the concern, replacing the bulb did not work. The mechanic checked and found that the parking lamp harness holder is peeling and corroded causing the wire to short. Mercedes benz wanted me to pay $1440. 35 for the replacement of the entire light assembly and recommended changing the right side too even though it was operable. The light assembly encases the front parking light bulbs (eyebrow lights - 2 each) and the headlight bulb. The service advisor, jeff decorte indicated that he sees this all the time which is why he recommended replacing both sides of the entire light assemblies. Bulb holders and connectors should be replaced at no cost to the owner due to the peeling and corrosion. Please investigate, this may be potentially another recall except now it's the front parking lights. Please note that my car has always been serviced at the required intervals by the dealer.
