190E Headlight problem

So one of my left high beam headlight went out the other day so i assumed it was the bulb, changed the bulb and nothing changed and now my right low beam light is super dim... Could this be a fuse issue?

If so can the high/low beam fuses are white, i have a bunch of the red ones still brand new.. Will those fuses work? or do i need to order the white one ?

Anyone else have any similar problems with their 190e that cares to help me out

Thanks in advnace.

Check the wiring harness, they have a tendency to melt from what I've heard around the forums. If not, get a continuity tester and check what you are getting across the harness for the light compared to the properly functioning on on the other side. Follow the wires back from the light until you find your problem, check for green corrosion in the plugs/pins as well along the way.

And I wouldn't guess a fuse or both sides would be bad. They don't have an individual fuse per side in the fuse box.
