Hello everyone,

I drive a 2005 CLK 320 Coupe (german spec) with the Bi-Xenon option.

I am having a problem with the left-side xenon beam where sometimes it doesn't work. This happens right from the get go sometimes and sometimes I lose the light as I am driving.

The way to fix it is to disconnect the xenon module cable from the bulb, reconnect it, then switch the lights on.

When I fixed it the first time, I thought it was a loose connection because of road bumps or something but the problem keeps coming back yet the connection is solid.

What am I missing and what can be done? Is this common? Is it a SAM problem? Should I connect STAR when the light stops working and see what error codes I get or is it much simpler than that?

Please let me know.

Thank you,

This is obviously not the cars fault. The driver of the car is the problem. Try changing the driver maybe?

You may/will need to replace your headlight.

I made some progress. It's something to do with a loose connection. I added a foam chunk as a pad to the circular dust cover and the light started working fine.

I'll test it for a day or two and make sure it's a final solution.
