Xenon blinking

Hello

The right xenon of my CLK 63 (non BS) of 2008 is sometimes blinking, which is really disturbing when driving by night.

I exchanges l/R xenon bulb to check if the bulb was responsible or the lighting unit.
The right xenon is still blinking and the left is ok.
Then I unmounted the right lighting unit and I found 2 box/calculator.
The first one is the control unit (A0038205826 headlamps range adjustment and curveillumination)which I think is not the cause.
The second is the HELLA Ballast (5dv 009 000-10) which is I think the cause of my issue.






The matter is that I am not able to find any MB part number on it and no more to find it in EPC. Perhaps it is not sold separately with the headlight ?

I checked on ebay/amazon etc and was not able to find the same reference 5dv 009 000-10, only 5dv 009 000-00

If anyone have the MB part umber or a link to order the hella remplacement I will be very glad.

Best regards

That is correct. Usually on xenon kits the ballast tends to go when the lights flicker or sometimes don't come on after repetitive attempts. I would check at an Electrical store or someone like Bosch for that unit. Good luck
Here in South Africa Hella is a main brand sold by Bosch centres mostly and some Midas
I have checked on google and 009 000-10 comes up on Amazon at $140. Hope you successful buying it from here.

I can't find 009 000-10, only 009 000-00. Some ebay sellers indicate this ref as compatible with CLK so perhaps 009 000-10 does not exist anymore.
I wait for my mechanic confirmation and I will buy it.
