Bi-Xenon headlight problem on W220 - Weird...
I have a S500 Designo with clear clear Bi-Xenon's (installed last year, inlcuding a leveling conversion kit). Worked great so far.
Yesterday, I saw a error in the main display, saying "Sidelight L and then Sidelight R" problem. I checked and in fact the sidelights were out (halogens next to the bi-xenons). Worse yet, when using the turn signals, the main bi-xenon lenses are activated instead of the front turn signal, flipping the headlight into high-beam/low beam.
Obviously the electrical is goofed up. Since the S-class only has electronic fuses for its lighting, it is much more difficult to troubleshoot.
All lighbulbs appear to be in working order and the disconnecting the conversion kit doesn't make a difference.
Anybody have had similar issues or ideas?
Thanks,
Wolfman

looks like the electrical conversion harness has a goof up. As for your xenon's coming on for blinkers, there is a bulb subsitution system in the car that replaces a burnt bulb with a working one. I know that if a xenon goes out, the fog is used as a replacement. I am fairly certain that your xenon should not come on if a blinker is out though. Need to recheck wiring or check WIS wire diagrams.
