Hi,

My R230 My 2003 gets occationaly message that the right beam has mal function, and it's not working - Is this a sign that it has to be replaced or is there any missconnect that can be solved?
My car has the Bi-Xenon.

Sounds like a malfunction of the high voltage ballast. Remove entire headlight and remove underneath.

I checked the the instruction for removal of headlight, do I rely have to remove the front bumper to remove to outer fixation? Shouldn't it be enough to remove the inner fender to acces that fixation?

Anyone that have an answer on this?

I suceeded to remove the right ballast from underneth, but the used one I have bought did not light up the bulb. I guess I have to change the bulb, I will try to swap the left working ballast to the right side. What else kan be wrong?

Wouldnt it be easier if you started with a new bulb at first.

Hi I'm back in this matter.

My problem is that my right Bi-xenon has not lit since last inspection, April last year and its due time in April again.
Last weekend I changed the Ballast but that didn't help.
I know that the right and left Bi-xenon is connected to each sides electrical fuse box.
Two times the past week my right Bi-xenon has start to lit in the afternoon when I have started at the office to go home, but it's been dead in the mornings.

Friday morning I started and the right was dead, I opened the bonnet and did some movements on the passenger fuse/relay central when the ignition was on and nothing happened but when I switched of the ignition and switched it on again it was working!!!!! some miss contact somewhere.

Saturday morning I did the same but it didn't lit!

I have now got it to lit after I have been on the driver side el.central.
But will it be working tomorrow?!

Today (Sunday) it worked, I opened the door and turned on the light and all lights where worked.

I don't think it's a igniter problem as it works perfectly when it gets correct signal.

In the Fuse chart it says that the light has a electronic fuse - Can this be the problem?
