Headlight Issue C63 W204 / Not bulb, so?
Have my passenger side headlight out, tried replacing bulb....didn't do the trick. Does anyone have a fuse map or a way to check if that might be the culprit? I guess maybe that would be in the manual? (never opened the damn thing) OR any other quick tests or part replacements to see if I can get off with a cheap/fast repair
Hoping to avoid the entire replace obviously lol $$

Gracias

Did you try taking the driver side bulb and inserting to the passenger side? If it still doesn't work then it could be a ballast issue

Check the modules. I fried mine using cheap xenon bulbs from a reputable seller on here and had to replace both.

Thanks guys! Looks like I can find a ballast unit online for around $100 (Ebay/used, 6 month warranty). Going to try that and see what happens....
