Approximately once every 2 months while parked with the engine off, the front passenger side headlight will come on with the rear passenger side parking/brake light. When this occurs, I have to turn the headlight switch on then back off, to turn off the lights. On one occasion, I observed the passenger side headlight and the rear passenger light flickering like a strobe light, before I turned the switch on then off.
2010 Mercedes-Benz C300 lights complaints

Similar to other complaints that have been filed against mercedes, it seems as though the electrical connection to my rear right light (brake light, running light, turn signal, etc.) has melted and is no longer operational. The entire light is out and I get warning messages on the dash about the problem. It looks like this is the same problem that everyone else with the same make/model as me are having. Hopefully mercedes recognizes the scale of this flaw in their engineering and sends out a recall sooner than later.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 mercedes benz c300. The contact stated the the driver's side fog light cover was fractured. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 15,000.
Passenger taillight connector/wiring insufficiently designed for load. Wire/connector plastic is melting and causing unsafe conditions. This is a very common problem with 2008-2010 c-class and is frequently noted in mb owner's forums/websites.
Rear passenger tail light warning came on. Inspection revealed a corroded and burned ground wire. The wire created so much resistance heat, that it has melted through its molex connector, and bubbled up the contact plate it connects to. Driver's side appears okay at this time. This is a fire hazard and a safety issue if the rear tail lights fail during an emergency stopping condition. I have pictures if requested.
My car will be parked and engine not running and at any given time the upper front headlight on passenger side and the bottom part of the rear taillight on passenger side will illuminate for no reason. It doesn't matter which position the lights are in. *tr... Updated 04-05-13
