CLK 500 low beam is out
Hi-
I have a 2005 CLK 500 and the low beam passenger light is out. I was told it was the ballast, and so I bought a new one on ebay. The new light worked for about 5 days and then burnt out again. I am wondering if the new ballast I bought was bad, or if it could be something else. Is there a way to test whether or not it is the ballast? How would I know if it is the ignitor? It seems that the dealer is quick to say it is the ballast, but I am wondering if it could be something else. I read something about the peanut light being connected to the ballast. Please advise if you have any suggestions.
Thanks

you post this up in the clk forum.
many more people will see and respond.
buy ballasts and bulbs from suppliers that sell the real deal.

most ebay parts like this are cheap clones.
