Water drops inside of headlights?

Hi all, I’ve had my GLE 53 coupe for 2 weeks now and just noticed what looks to be dried water spots on the inside of both headlights. I don’t see any obvious condensation but do see some of the chrome looking a little muggy in the RH headlight. They’re not painstakingly obvious but are easily seen when shining my phone’s flashlight on the lens.

Has anyone else seen this? If so, how did you go about in addressing it?

will be posting pics in the morning

Thanks in advance

Had water in the driver side headlight at around 4 months of ownership. Although I may have been the first to post on this problem, apparently am not the only one. Warranty issue, no problem, but took almost 4 weeks to get the parts. Car could not be driven due to multiple error codes from the headlight, so I would minimize water exposure (especially high pressure car wash) if possible until replaced. Otherwise you might find yourself in a loaner for awhile. Apparently, most of the front of the truck has to come apart based on what the repair order stated.
