1 Headlights Turn Off While Driving problem

Failure Date: 04/15/2019

On the ntigh of April 15, 2019, while driving on a street in orlando, FL, the warning that the driver side low beam was out came on. I replaced the bulb the next day but the new bulb lasted about 20 minutes and the warning came on again. Thinking I had a bad bulb, on April 17, 2019, I went in again to replace it. This time I noticed a good quantity of fragments of dried up wire insulation inside headlight housing and noticed that the 3 wires leading to the bulb were bare. The wires are shorting out, the new bulb did not last. I did a brief internet search and concluded that this is a common safety problem with the E350 and mercedes is aware of it. The wiring insulation is not suited for the job; it is failing; it could cause a fire or a crash if both headlights go out at once! therefore I am reporting this issue and expect to see mercedes stepping up and taking ownership of this problem.
