Headlight issue on my 2003 E500 Sport (HID)
I replaced the headlamp on the passenger side with a new bulb and I still have no light. To see if it was a faulty bulb I swapped it with the one on the drivers side and it worked. I then put the bulb from the drivers side in the passenger side and still no light.
I did the same with the black box that the bulb plugs into (pardon my ignorance but I dont know exactly what it is called). Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Please help! I need to get my car inspected!

The black box on the back of the bulb is called the ignitor. There is a wire that plugs into it. Are you sure you plugged the wire in all the way? The ignitor is also kind of hard to clip back on over the bulb, so it has to be 100% snapped in also.
