w210 - sidelight out

[yellowbenzene]

hi all,

quick question:

my passenger side side light is out. the lighting fault indicator comes on when I turn them on and only the driver's side one illuminates. the light does come on when I engage full beam.

I've opened up the headlight housing and tried replacing the H7 bulb, which didn't solve the issue. I think I'm mistaken, because there's another smaller bulb inside the headlamp housing. Is this bulb responsible for the sidelight? If so, which type of bulb is it? I am due an MOT and would like to fix this myself if possible - but I'm taking it to an MB specialist for the MOT so hopefully it'll be a small matter for them to fix the issue.

it's this light that's not working, excuse the crappy diagram!

The bulb is an H6W (433) and , yes, it's the smaller one in that housing.

thanks! swapped it and it's now working. that should save me a few quid next week.
