2014 W222 Has a Blinking Headlight
Hey All,
Just bought my first Mercedes, a very well maintained 2014 S550 (Canada Spec), I checked it out at the dealer twice and didn't notice a single issue, everything has been well maintained and the car drives great. However, hours after I got it the sunset and the automatic low beams came on, soon I noticed a intermittent flickering that is either fast or slow, bright or dim that will not stop on the left side light. I've attached a video below, wondering if anyone has had this issue and if so is this a headlight replacement or LED Driver issue? Also, curious if anybody knows which one of the two mods on the headlight need to be replaced.
Thanks!

More than likely water damage / corrosion to the Controller. Very expensive headlights / components from dealer. Wehn mine were replaced; I had dealer seal all connections with silicone prior to replacement. No issues since. Big problem with condensation and dealer installed moistrue packs that pop open leaching goo all over the components. Poor Design.
