Check Left Low Beam ?

I've been using the HIDextra 6000k set on my for about 5 months without problem.

As I was driving home yesterday evening, the message "Check Left Low Beam" appeared on the console. Since then, my left low beam has been out.

I have not tested switching the bulb of my 2 low beams to see if the bulb is actually the problem. I'll do that test tonight.

In case the bulb is not the problem though, and as I understand, there is no fuse for external lamp, is there any other point of failure that I can test?

Thanks.

i dont think its the bulb. its the ballast. on my w204 it happened twice. then i got a foam cover for the ballast for the left side to protect it from overheating issue. left side is so cramped it overheats easily.

ah thanks for the answer.

So did you replace the ballast or it just worked again after you did the foam cover?

Thanks

I had it since December.

The HID kit is an aftermarket one (HIDextra) though, I don't see the dealer replace it for me, except if the problem is the lamp out module.
