Headlight Out

The right low beam headlight is out on my 2009 R350. While changing the bulb, I saw that the old one is good, but replaced it anyway - it didn't solve the problem. I checked fuses 54, 55 and 112; they are all good. I used a multimeter and found no voltage at the socket. I tried searching on the site and couldn't find an answer to my problem. Can anyone help or direct me to a posting that I may have missed? Thank you in advance.

Do you have factory Xenon lights? Are your high beams working?

​​​​​​​I have H7 halogen bulbs and, yes, the high beams are working. Only the right side low beam is inoperative.

Did you test the fuses with the multimeter also? I don't have a fuse chart with me, so I can't be of much help there.

My guess, because it's only the one side giving you the problem, and only the low beam, that you have a damaged wire or a corroded connection in the headlight assembly. I would start with the socket itself, maybe one of the leads have broken off. Did you test the hot and ground wires separately?
