headlamps dimmed.... then 260E just died

Friday night and I had just dropped off the girlfriend at her home. I pulled the benz (1987 260E) away onto the road and was about to speed off towards home then I see one of the dash dummy light (with the lamp bulb) turned on. Then I noticed in front that the headlamp was really dim, almost barely enough to shine the road ahead. I drove perhaps 50 meters more and the car just died. Goner! I turned the ignition off and then tried to start the car again. Nothing, just click, click. Car doesn't turn on, nada, nothing.

Funny thing is the gas tank is full, battery is good, because I removed the keys and put the head lamp on, it shines brightly. The radio/mp3 player works nice when the key is in the accessory position. Battery has full juice. Anyway, I called the tow, truck, put the rear wheel on the dolly and the front was raised by the truck's boom. And away it go, towed almost 16 kilometers home in this way.

What could be wrong? Where should I start to investigate? Thanks in advance for any pointer.
