Headlight problem... What needs replaced?
My passenger side low beam headlight on my 2003 SL55 was flickering the other day and now it doesn't work at all. I replaced the bulb with an identical brand new one but the light still doesn't work.
I hooked up Star and got the following error codes (see attachment). I'm honestly not familiar with lighting and how headlights work. Can someone please point me in the right direction of what needs to be replaced here. Also, how to replace it? (EX: Entire headlight assembly needs to come out or the part can be reached from underneath of the car)
I tried searching for the two specific codes that it's throwing on Google and on the forum but didn't return any results.
Thanks in advance...

It appears that either cable to the headlight module is shorted or module itself has a short. I'd try to use known good module (left) and plug into the right headlight. If it fixes the problem - you need to replace the module, if not, problem is with the cable.

Whenever you speak of the "headlight module" are you referring to the ignitor or ballast?
