headlight doesn't work, help!!
Heres the situation, i have a 2003 c320 4matic, and my driver side low beam doesn't work. The bulb works, so it can't be the bulb. I was thinking maybe the fuse popped, bad connection? It could be alot of things. Does anyone have the fuse layout of the drivers side headlight or at least no where the fuse box is location?

Check the socket contacts for oxidation, corrosion and spring contact.
