Thanks all for your suggestions & comments. Took the headlight assembly out and couldn't find any loose connections so I ordered a set of MTEC's from brabusw209amg!

well if you have xenon lights, the angel eye bulbs are H8. not sure what bulb the halogen lights use.
just unscrew the round cap on the back and the bulb is right there.

I upgraded mine to some LEDs years back that I got off ebay for $30 or so. They were fine and then a month later passenger went out. I switched sides and haven't had the problem since and it's been years. Just something to keep in mind.

take a multimeter and test if you are getting power to the plug.
