2019 Headlight condensation
Who's got it? I have. The manual says its normal, but the stuff I have is crazy. It is humid and cold here, but you would think a 65k car would be pretty lock tight.

Some condensation at times is normal, the units are not sealed as many believe. Varies due to weather, the condensation usually forms overnight when the warm moist air condenses on the inside of the lense surface as it cools. When the lights come on the heat drives it out. So it depends on the humidity at the time. Yes it's annoying. As long as you've gone to the dealer and they noted it on a service ticket you'll be covered if anything happens down the road. So far I've not had any on my 2019 C43 Sedan luckily.

To be honest I haven't paid that much attention to it as it does go away, and doesn't seem to take that long to do so.
Sorry, I know that's not very helpful....

All great input. It's been wet and cold here, so no reall opportunity. Doesn't help that German houses have pretty small garages. My wive's XC-60 gets the spot, so I am on the pad out in the elements. A mumber of one of the Facebook groups claims to have had an ugrade perforemd by Mercedes after extensive complaints. I have an appointment to at least have it noted, and get my damn MercedesMe activated.
