how cold was the morning (or night) ? The headlights assembly is vented, so if the outside ambient temp is relatively low, it may be there but should be gone in a few hours time.
I live in Sweden. So autumn is coming. This was in the evening after I had driven it and it was parked for about 30-40 minutes. So I noticed this, i have never seen it before, and it's just on the left side. It was around 16 degrees that evening.
What do you think I should do?
Am I too picky? Is it okay for such a new car?
More common than you think. If a noticeable amount of fogging/moisture is still visible after 60 minutes have dealer check headlamps for external damage and correct seating/locking of rear caps under warranty.
If @ around 16 degree Celsius, having moisture is kind of unusual, IMO.
I had this happened in the past on my Porsche, BMW and even the current car too. It happened just like yours but in colder ambient temp, like near 0 Cel. and below. The moisture did disappear after a few hours though.
Okay, I have to keep an eye on the headlamp so there is no more moisture and that it does not come more often.
I just think it feels weird that it happens on such a new car. I bought it new in November 2018.
Mine's over two years old, also had it from new. Whilst bringing it in for service on a very wet winter day I noticed the moisture in headlamp just like on your photo. Showed it to service advisor and was told that it's normal if it dissipates in a bit.
Take it to the dealer for a replacement headlamp under warranty. It should not have moisture in it. Mine did that within the first year of ownership and I had them replace it with no trouble.
OMG! It really was a lot!
Did it happen several times, like every day?
Im so disappointed that this can happen on such a new car and on a Mercedes.
It's not Dacia .....

My photo above is when it was at its worst. It would reduce when it was warmed up, but there was always still visible condensation there.
The car was less than 10 months old when I took that photo...
Some patches of condensation are quite normal my Glk and c classe also had it. Often after washing the car but really it can occur when the humidity and temp levels converge in the correct way.
