Light's problem

My wife was driving my CLK in a rainy night, and suddenly, all the external lights on left hand side turned off while she was driving, but all the lights on right hand side stayed ON. So weird, and I saw it too when she came back.

However, all the lights are back after I restart my car. Anyone know why it happened? It was raining, but not too heavy. Thanks.

Electrical Problems

If it didn't have electrical problems, it wouldn't be a German car.

Make sure the caps are secured on the back of the headlight housings, they've been known to fall off. Before I sealed my projectors, if the smallest amount of water got in there, they would shut off, next day they would be fine.
