Right headlights disabled (no warning)

2008 200cdi w211

Suddenly my right headlights (park, hi, low, fog, turn) stopped working. I don't get any malfunction error in the display.
Mirror turnlight and rear-right lights are still functional

I dont know if this got something to do with it, but I also had a bad alternator, that gave me low voltage and poor charging. This was replaced today, and the voltage is back up). I was hoping it was something of a "malfunction electrical consumers switched off"-type-of-problem that would have been resolved with the new alternator. But no. still no warnings.

At the same time as the headlights was gone, my seat warmers died out (no indicator lights, no nothing). And the fuses are still good, as matter of fact Ive checked all the fuses I could find. (Under the hood, driverside-console, and left side trunk)

So anyone got any clues? Could someone point me to the headlight-relays?

Thanks. I guess it's the one under the hood. Do you know where I can find some details/chart of that SAM (inputs, outputs)? I've been searching around the web, and someone stated that the right headlights and left were connected to seperaded SAMs. Can someone confirm?

No, sorry. I should have mentioned that. It's all halogen.

The car has also gone 500 000km
