| Description of the problem | Sockets for the parking lights above the headlights melted. Knowing that something similar was addressed with the tail lights, seems to be related. The tail lights melted the carrier and the cables now the same is happening on the front of the car. I am not the only owner of mb c300 experiencing a issue. We are concerned that our cars can catch up on fire. |
