Exclamation Help.....Bi-xenons not working

Hi,

I replaced my park globes with LED units and went to try them out and when I turned on the light switch NO lights came on at all. I quickly switched it off and replaced the park globes with stock units.

Now the parking lights and fog lights come on but when I turn the switch to turn head lights on, all lights go out including interior. Like there's an open circuit or something. I looked for my fuse chart but it's not in the boot/trunk. 😔

I managed to find a fuse chart off this site but it doesn't have the bi-xenon fuse location. No error codes present. I also checked with a OBD tool.

Anyone have a fuse chart with bi-xenon location they can scan please? I need to find this fuse.

Any help would be appreciated

This sucks. I wish I could help but I'm still fresh to the ML and don't know where everything is just yet. My money is on fuse or relay.

What year is yours?

Hi, I have a 2010 ML350. It's been great so far until I discovered the fuse chart was missing from the spare tyre well. Like in the attachment. I should have the second setup.

All good now, left the car over night and cleared all errors on OBD. (No errors present). And guess what, lights work!

All back to normal.

I ended up using a 360 degree 5 LED W5W LED that suits Mazda MX5 after the lights came good. Must have overloaded the system with first set of cheapies. I'm guessing it must have an auto reset fuse to protect the bi-xenons. I'll try the second set on my license plate lights tonight.

Awesome. Do you have a link for those lights?

Now if I could only find a set of 36mm LED that works with the rear plate. I've tried 4 sets and all have me an error.

On the downside your post had me curious. I picked up my ML last month.

Fuse chart and electronic pump is missing.

Why do clowns do this?

Totally agree, I was kinda pissed when I realized that my fuse chart was missing along with the foam holding tray that keeps all the other bits together.

On another note if you punch in these details on eBay you should get the same bulbs as I did. Check out the pic.

So far I have spent a little fortune on LED globes.

I just picked up the same bulbs for my parking lights. Hoping there are no errors.

Did you have any success with the rear plate bulbs?

Got mine in and look fantastic with no error codes. But man was that a pain in the butt trying to get them out and in.

Next to solve the rear plate led error codes. I'll report back once I finish experimenting.
