Angry Condensation Problems in Lighting GLE63

2016 GLE63 Electrical Gremlins (550 Miles new),
  • Alerts are firing on screen. Light issues.
  • Adaptive highbeams not working
  • All lighting entirely went out requiring a restart
  • Right side of vehicle lighting is out.
  • Significant condensation INSIDE lighting housing
  • Environment has been wet and rainy, but no excuse
Will report solve once at dealer (but that'll be two weeks)





CHECK RIGHT LOW BEAM




CHECK FRONT RIGHT PARKING LAMP (amoung 2 others)




LEFT FRONT SIDE LAMP CONDENSATION






CONDENSATION ALL OVER




THICK DANGEROUS CONDENSATION

The manual allows for some condensation - but mine seems to be affecting the integrity of the lighting system. Here's what the manual says:

Headlamps fogged up on the inside
Certain climatic and physical conditions may
cause moisture to form in the headlamp. This
moisture does not affect the functionality of the
headlamp.
