How to Test the Starter of a Xenon Bulb

Model: Mercedes Clk A208, W208, C208 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Xenon headlight kit

First, remove the headlamp unit that is malfunctioning. To do this, you need to take off the bumper and the panel underneath it. Once the headlamp unit is extracted, remove the bulb without touching the glass, and also take out the starter, which is embedded in a metal frame. Unscrew the two screws to free the starter of the bulb in question. Now, taking all necessary precautions, connect the starter with crocodile clips directly to your car's battery and test if the bulb and starter work. Car model: Mercedes C-Class.
