I just got my CLS and fortunately haven't had to mess with the headlights yet... definitely sounds like grounding issue though. If it was me I would start with checking the wiring to the ballasts (under the headlights I believe), and then from the ballast to the lights... may sure no exposed wiring, like from getting pinched somewhere or from someone splicing into the wiring for foglights, etc. Good luck!

(Um dumb I know, but make sure you are using the correct sized fuse and not just assuming the correct size based on what was in there.)
