I have noticed moisture the first day driving mine home last week as well. Maybe it is the pacific NW weather. Have not seen it since.

Went to the dealer and he told me it's normal since xenon headlights are ventilated,took me outside and almost every new Mercedes had same thing as mine.
btw it was in the low 30's so I'm guessing it is normal for our Pacific NW.

Had the exact same thing happen to me the day I drove home from the dealer. It was pouring rain that day. Took it right back to the dealer and they told me it was all normal. I has since gone away.
