One problem related to headlights turn off while driving has been reported for the 1997 Mercedes Benz C280. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Insulation on the wiring harness for the headlights is failing to where bare wires show and are contacting other bare wires shorting out the system. After searching online I see this is a common problem.
