Driver side headlight out
have an 09 c300 sport with stock headlights. I recently replaced them with a 5000k kit including warning cancelers. These gave me no headaches, with perfect cut off lines, no lights on dash, and no flickering. I got the kit off craigslist for 80 and was never sure of the wattage. (35 or 55)
Over the weekend picked up new bulbs (4300k) and connected them to my first sets components (ballasts, warning cancelers). Everything worked fine for about 2 hours except for some flickering at start up which went away. Started my car later that night to have the driver side headlight out! Next morning I started up and everything was fine again until night fall!
Now ive been driving around at (at night only for whatever reason) with a driver side headlight out that again only works during the day. The bulbs not burt out tried it on the other side and works fine.
Help me out!

Have you tried connecting the previous bulbs? Maybe one of the wiring harnesses or ballast is going bad. Before, the can bus harness malfunctioned and it prevented power to my bulbs. Once I removed the can bus harness, my lights work perfectly.
