Headlight out
 

Long story short, I have had a lot of problems with my local Mercedes dealership and about 6 months ago I had them replace the the tail lights on my 01, SLK 320 due to a lamp failure. They did this under the recall, replacing both sides.

The next "night" when I went out to drive the car I noticed the "lamp out" warning indicator on the dash illuminated again. So after a quick check it turned out to be a head lamp was now out. To my disgust I just pulled it back in the garage and put the cover over it. I just wasnt up for another trip to the dealer.

Anyways, could this something simple the tech left unplugged, is there anything simple I could check? I have checked the bulb both visually and with a meter and it appears to be fine.

Any help avoiding another trip to the dealer would be GREATLY appriciated, thanks.

OUT your dealership. WE want to know where to avoid spending our money and they deserve to be heard if they want to defend their work.

Swap bulbs over to see if fault moves.

Well I am glad I didn't slam my dealer to bad, lol.

Thanks guys for all of the replies, it looks like this latest episode was just a coincidence with the bulb going out the day after the service visit.

As Bazzle suggested I swapped the bulbs around and it proved to be the bulb, even though it tested fine.

So thanks very, very, very much Bazzle for your suggestion.
