About a year ago I installed an after market HID kit in my 2008 c300. About a week ago the passenger side low beam stopped working. I assumed it was the bulb. To confirm my suspicions I swapped the ballasts around and found that indeed the same bulb was still out. I contacted the HID manufacturer and received a replacement bulb yesterday. I installed the new bulb and it still doesn't work. My next plan is to buy a regular H7 halogen and plug it in to see if it works, but I am fearing that it won't.

I have searched google and this forum and found a couple threads with similar problems, but the OP never followed up with a solution. I have also read our vehicles do not have fused headlights, but rather they are controlled completely through the SAM. I have also read it is unlikely to damage the SAM with something like a short circuit because they are designed to handle such situations. I don't have a voltmeter/multimeter to test for power.

Does anybody have any advice on trying to solve this problem. More specifically, does anybody have any ideas I can try at home before heading to the stealership?

Happy Holidays.

edit: ...both my high beams are working
