615 (Bi-Xenon with Cornering Lamps) Brightness of Left and Right Brake Lamps Differ
If you receive customer reports in the above model vehicles that the brightness of the left and right brake lamps are different, do not replace the complete rear lamp assembly. This may be caused by a malfunctioning protective diode on the LED brake lamp circuit board. To resolve, replace the LED brake lamp carrier (Figure 1) which is available as a separate part.
