Headlights don't work!! Please Help!!
Hi I have a 2005 C240 had it for less than a year now and before the summer one headlight went out and last month the other one did 
... I read a post saying to unplug the battery but that didn't work and I have also bought to different headlights so it must be something else any suggestions????

I would suspect a bulb install or contact issue. Given you have replaced both bulbs, i would re-examine the two headlight bulbs. Make sure they were inserted correctly and they are correct bulbs.
I would also unplug and re-plug the wiring harness at the headlight assembly/make sure it is securely snapped in place.
Keep us posted...

Are you saying your car has the bi-xenon and that the bulbs stopped working and then you bought replacement bulbs and they do not work either?
OR do you have a aftermarket HID kit?

Parking lights work
Parking lights work, fog lights are out of the car due to the accident and I was hoping to get the headlights working without the fog lights if that possible?!
