I have a c200 with xenon headlights, I've found there are some dust inside headlamp cover. It's not a big deal but it doesn't look spotless to me.
Does anyone know if there is a leak? How can you remove the dust from there, can I get dealer to replace one for me?
Thanks!

Can anyone help please??? I called one dealer today and they said its quite normal so you don't have to replace them.

Open it up and get it out, they wont replace it due to dust.

Are there any instructions of how to remove the cover, I heard its very hard to remove.

Not sure if you are willing to try this:
In my old car- I had a spider climb into the headlight assembly when I was changing bulbs. I could not get the damn thing out to save my life. Long story short- I killed the spider by turning on the lights and frying it. And then used some Blue painter's tape on the end of a piece of plastic to clean out the dried up spider. This concept would probably also remove the dust particles.
Sounds crazy but it worked.

Or just pull the head light off and take the indicator cap off and blow some air in there with a can of keyboard duster

Thanks so much guys, I will give that a go!

Just be careful not to turn the can upside down or you will get the "freeze blast" and it will most likely leave condensation in the assembly.

Even if that happens, turning the lights on high beam for 15 minutes will clear it up
