My 97 e420 has xenon's. The passenger side Headlight and inner fog light have condensation. The dealer said it looks like its between the cover and the actual headlights/foglight unit.
What's it take to get the covers off? Is this a body shop process or a dealer process?
Any help is appreciated.

I have never removed mine but have discussed it quite a bit. You should remove the entire assembly first to remove the lenses. To remove them I have read that there is a small plastic tab that holds the lense onto the housing. You must grind or break off the tap and then gently pry the lense off of the housing using a small screwdriver all the way around until it separates. Please careful and gentle when prying as to not crack the lense. Let me know how this works out for you. Also remember, do not touch the bulb, just FYI...Good luck.

I Have Used a Heat Gun to soften the sealer then remove the lens..No tabs to break off..I Have done several sets

Please inspect the Seals/o - rings at the plastic covers to replace the bulbs...i Have seen them leak...

Good Luck!
