Check fuse?
Not familiar with the electrical system of the 123 but in my 116 300SD's the left and right headlights are on separate fuses.

I had this problem before. Tell him to take the headlight and the head light bucket out. There are some soldered connectors that will break and come loose, preventing the headlight from operating.
Its a stupid design, and is very prone to corrosion.

Corroded fuse #4 did the trick.
