Hi, my mom has a 2001 S430, I believe with Xenons (they light up whiteish blue). It's apparently been happening for a little bit, but her right low beam turns off for about ten seconds then turns back on, and continues doing this as she's driving. The error on the dashboard only appears when this happens (Check Right Low Beam or whatever).

What might this problem be manifested in? I've searched and couldn't find any similar situations. Is it the bulb or something else? Thank you for any help!

Is it original Xenons or is it aftermarket? If it's original you have a loose connection, if its aftermarket you're problem might be much greater than that.

It's all original. Are there any tutorials with pictures that might have the wires I should check?

IF THEY ARE ORIGINAL BULBS FROM 2001 THAN MOST LIKELY ITS TIME FOR NEW BULBS. THEY SELL THEM ON EBAY FOR UNDER $100 A SET. THE BEST ONES ARE PHILLIPS OR OSRAM D2R.

Did you do it yourself???

How did you get to the bulbs. What did you remove. I have a pair or D2R bulbs sitting around, but i'm not sure what to do to get to the bulbs. Do i need to remove some screws or something?

Theres a cover behind the headlamps assembly, open it and twist the bulb connecter. After that twist off the bulb holder and replace the bulb.
