Headlamp Assembly

[iactac]

Does anyone has a faulty headlamp assembly (due to burnt wires) that cause the fuse box to malfunction? I am driving a W204 (2009). Mine is not working (just the side marker lamp) and the workshops (C&C inclusive) that I consulted said that I need to change the whole assembly (that costs several hundred dollars). Its just the side marker (not the main light) and hence I struggle a bit to change but on the other hand, I am worried this might lead to bigger problems. Any advice anyone?

Hi,

A note for W204 owner.

Some of you may encounter error message from the tail lamp, first please check the connectors, most of the time it was due to bad contact.

Why can this happen? This burned terminal act as a main negative (-) to supply to the rear lamp bulbs, it has connected to 5x21watts bulbs and 1x5watts bulb, they were drawing current from this terminal, after some years this terminal became corrosion and it form up a high resistance, the on board computer detected that current flow have changed, hence check light appeared

If this happen! you may contact me for solution.

I don't think so or maybe I should say I am not sure. Both workshops said the socket (or maybe connector) is burned and they can't do the repair. The only thing they can do is to replace the whole assembly. Mine is the front parking lamp, one of the two 'eyelid' bulbs.
