clk 350 right head lamp out again
After replacing the bulb 3 days ago and it's out again and no power with a test light to the H7 plug …. Is there a fuse ? I don't see one on the fuse charts for individual lamps .There is a black connector to the whole assembly and only one wire has on power the rest are off on both side of the car . The connect I guess give power to the fog and parking and head lamp . The connect goes toe the handlamp assembly it is black. where should I looked got pulled over 3 days ago don't want to get a ticket.

The headlights have no fuses. They are electronically controlled by the SAM. When the SAM detects a bad bulb, it shuts off the circuit for safety, which is likely why you can test it. Make sure when replacing the bulbs that you do not touch the glass, because oils from your skin can boil on the glass and cause it to break. Also, make sure the bulb is securely clipped in place. A loose bulb will rattle around and break the filament.
