Headlights

Has anyone experienced problems with their Xenon headlights? I have an '03 CLK 320. The passenger side headlight has gone bad 3 times. The dealer continues to say that nothing is wrong and that there was a bad batch of Xenons and that this is not uncommon.

I'm having a similar problem. The auto level function doesn't work half the time resulting in the passenger side headlight pointing straight down. 2003 CLK 500

You mean right is lower or higher? Normally the right should be higher than the left to avoid blinding oncoming traffic I think.

I don't use the auto light option b/c it just doesn't work. I just manually switch on the light when I need them. As for your lights beaming lower, you can always manually adjust them. If your talking about the automatic adjustment, not sure then.
