Looks like the same headlight cluster as my 1997 C230 but I think you are pointing to the fog-lamp. If you turn on the light switch and verify the main beam is OFF - that is the light switch stalk is toward the steering wheel, you should see the "dipped" beams. If you push the switch forward the main beam lights come on which should be verifiable and as I recall are "in addition to" the dipped lamps. Then if you pull out the light switch one notch the fog lamps will come on and, in some vehicles, the main beam will go off. In my 1997 vehicle this did no happen, ALL the lights stayed on.

Hope this helps.
