cl55 / cl500 XENON HEADLAMP REPLACEMENT NOT WORKING

Hi guys, I lost my other login so just doing the facebook login right now since i'm hitting my head against the wall trying to replace a HEADLAMP

is there a fuse controlling one headlamp? I replaced both the ballast and the bulb, everything works on the left side when i switch all the components, whatever i do the right headlight won't fire. i can't see any nicks in the wiring, and all i can find is 'electronic fuse' listed for the low beam fuses, any ideas? i already got blacked out windows and no front plate, so one headlight and every cop on the block will be up my a**

much appreciate any help

after doing some research i'm guessing it's the ballast. anyone replace it? do i have to take off the front wheel(s) / bumper?

Did you ever figure out your headlight situation? I'm having a similar but worse issue and have no clue what to do

it was the ballast. i had to remove a good amount of the front bumper to get to it--it's attached to the UNDERSIDE of the headlight. you have to start in the wheelwell and start removing s*** and work your way forward starting with the plastic guard that surrounds the whole wheel well. u have xenon's in a 2001? i'm guessing yeah. will attach a pic or 2. pain but it worked.

Does the bumper need to come off to remove the headlights?
