Question faulty xenon lights

Anyone having trouble with their xenon lights. My right light works sometimes and sometimes not. The dealer looked into the problem and could not find any faults. Hopefully someone else has experienced this problem so that I may advise my dealer of the proper fix.

My driver light doesn't fire sometimes also - it's done it about a half dozen times over the last several times but works fine the rest of the time.

03 clk 320
xenon and other issues

Hi

i have an 03 320. My xenons are just like yours. they didn't work all the time, mostly the left side. I had it in for this and other problems and they have replaced all of the left side parts and it fixed it for a day. Currently the whole cluster on the left side is not working. They are coming to get the car tomorrow. This will the the third attempt to fix this problem.

Other issues I have had, when I picked up the car the seat belt presenter on the passenger side failed, and the esp system failed. They fixed it quickly.

The driver door windows stopped sealing when I closed the door. They fixed it.

The head rest didnt go down when the passenger seat was raised forward. They fixed that.

the tel aid system failed once, the dealer couldn't find a problem.

The steering wheel doesn't always return to the memorized position when I start the car. They cannot find a problem.

I think that is it so far. i have had the car for 8 months.

2018 E63S,
My passenger side xenon does the same thing. The problem is 100% intermittent. I usually have to shut downt he car and restart the car until the light comes on. Its damned irritating. Other problems Ive had are the passenger side headrest not moving out of the way when the seat goes up, brakes squealing, the rear headrests squeaking, and the center consol door just plain broke off. The car is going in tomorrow for the headlight problem though.... If the problem list keeps on going up, Im going to shove this car down MBZ's throat and make them buy it back under the lemon law.

SmokinV10, your xenon problem is exactly like mine. I also turn on and off the engine to get the xenon light to work. Moreover, my center console door just broke off last week. I dropped my car off at the dealer this morning. I post the dealers findings and fix if they appear to be accurate.
