Led headlights. No spray
On a drive back from Detroit today it's started snowing. 20mins later I had a pop up on the dash about cleaning the headlight sensors. This is not the full led (loaner 2017 c300) I noticed the lighters were significantly darker on the road. Finished driving home 2 hrs like this. Once in the garage I saw that the Lights were pretty caked over with snow/ice. How do they not have power washers anymore. I can't imagine pulling over to clean the lights all the time driving in snow slush. Anybody else drive in the snow yet?

There are a few features that are "missing" from this luxury segment, including the headlight washers, remote start (here in Canada anyways), heated steering wheel, heated windshield, etc.
But the PE makes up for a lot of those......

Drove today from Manistee, Michigan back to Chicago and it snowed the entire way. The "Radar Sensor Dirty, See Operator's Manual" came on twice. Had to pull over and clean the front bumper and grill twice to get the radar's functional again. __________________

When I picked up my W204 a year ago, we were going through the car's options and I noticed the headlight washers were missing - even though the bumper cutouts were there and even the window sticker referenced them in the lighting package description.
Anyway, I was told that the reliability was so bad, that they just discontinued them. Not sure if they are available on other models, but evidently they decided to can them on the C class.
BTW - that had to be a nasty drive from Manistee to Chicago. Got about a foot of snow at my place yesterday

Had this today too, 150 miles of low vis and clag in the dark and the lights got worse and worse... No washers on them, afraid that sucks Mercedes...
Got a 200 mile road trip tomorrow so had to clean them by hand!
