Right Low beam issue (HID)
Hello everyone I’m a recent owner of a 2011 E550 class with 83k ish miles and recently I’ve had a problem.
so last week my passenger low beam bulb went out and it’s was a factory HID bulb. But before that moisture got in the housing and I think ultimately it burnt out the bulb with the moisture inside the housing. So I’ve purchased a new set of HIDS and installed them but it didn’t turn on. It’s not bulb that for sure because I switched it out on the drivers and it worked fine. And moisture doesn’t get in the housing anymore. I don’t know if it’s the connection of the bulb or fuse. And I really don’t want to replace the whole housing. Any ideas on what it could be?

Now your ballast need replacement to ignite a plasma.
