2005 Mercedes SLK350
SLK350 - Spyder Headlights
Hi all,
I own a 2005 SLK 350 which I have done a pretty good job in maintenance and care. I had the Spyder Halogen LEDs aftermarket headlights installed about 7 months ago. All was fine with the world. I noticed recently I was experiencing some electrical problems such as my AC stopped working, and the headlights were producing an error code and shutting off the drive side light. I read on the forums that the SAM would needed to be replaced. I had the work done but I noticing the driverside light is still producing a code, flickering and eventually shutting off.
Mercedes of course blames it on the headlight itself. And are useless when it comes to helping diagnose the real problem.
I have attached a video of what the light is doing.(Only the drive side light) _In hopes that someone may have a solution or a way to resolve this annoyance.

Thanks in advance!
