Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG right front HID low beam dim issue despite functioning high beam on Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG

Problem overview

Some Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG owners report experiencing dim HID low beam issues on the right front, despite the high beam functioning properly. These owners often find that checking bulb compatibility is crucial, as the correct low beam bulb size for the 2016 model is D3S LED Lights. Additionally, some report needing to inspect the headlamp assembly for any problems with the bi-xenon or LED components. If the HID low beam is operational but appears dim, adjusting the beam angle may be necessary to avoid blinding oncoming traffic. Furthermore, some owners discover that a faulty xenon control unit box ballast is a common cause of headlight issues; if the fuse is intact, the ballast may require replacement. For persistent problems, it is advisable for owners to seek professional assistance from a technician or dealership for thorough diagnosis and resolution.
