Low beam lamp inop, works on high beam.
My passenger side low beam wont come on.
If I turn on the high beam, low beam lamp illuminates. If I drive around with high beams on for a decent period of time, (20 mins) then go back to low beams. The low will start working. Fuse seems good. (#19)
Is there a relay somewhere that may be sticking?

Your car is a Mercedes and they saw fit to let drivers run both sets at the same time ... it looks cool and it's super bright what's wrong with that ?
You probably have a bad ground or a bad headlight or dirty connector or something.
I drive in the day with them all on ... cuz that's the kind of guy I am .
I want to get those super bright blue ones but I'm afraid it would be too bright to screw around like I do.

it was a burned out filament on the dual 5006 bulbs. I replaced all of them so the colors match. Didnt find any really cool replacement ones. Just put in regular ole Sylvania OEM bulbs. Halogen towards the warmer side,
