Fog lights - interior condensation
05 C240 4 Matic; Fog lights get heavy condensation inside lenses. Both lights were changed under warranty but the new fog lamps are doing the same thing. There are ventilation slots in these things but they shouldn't fill with water drops like that.
Anyone have this problem and got it fixed?

This isn't on a Mercedes - but it still applies a bit...
My last car, Pontiac Grand AM had a problem of condensation in the right side foglamp. ... and the bulb would subsequently go out. I brought it back about 3 times before I was "content" with it no longer occuring, all under warranty of course....

Sounds like it might be a gasket issue - where the the lens and housing meet might not be sealing properly.Make sure your "vent" holes aren't blocked either.

These are a brand new set of replacement fog lights from the dealer. I'll just go and try to have them replaced yet again. Looks like shoddy stuff to me.
