VIDEO, Headlight low beams malfunction, 01' S500
I just picked up this car and just noticed this malfunction. I took some video so you can see exactly what it does.
When the lights are turned on (not auto), the drivers and passenger headlights will turn off and on. And I get a message in the dash message center "low beam, L, check lamp", and also "low beam, R. check lamp".
It normally does it on its own but I can sometimes trigger it as I showed in this vid.
Anyone experience this and if so what was it?
ANY help will be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you!

I would guess
I would guess on your 01 S500, the low beam headlamps are going, I just started having a problem with mine too. Should be a simple fix.
