Bulb or ballast??? that is the question
warning light came on....2002 CLK 430....changed out Xenon bulb on passennger side...a day later...it was out...dealer said probably ballast...so to test i put new bulb in driver side...initially it didnt work, then it did...then for a few days it would work, then going to work my wife says drivers light doesnt work, then shut off and restart, it works....To me these seems like bulb...
are Xenon bulbs finicky? can i have a faulty bulb?
or conversly.....can i have finicky ballast? that works on and off?
