S63 finally arrived but with fogged headlights
The car arrived yesterday and it's being prepared. I'll inspect it very carefully prior to picking it up, but I noticed that both headlights are pretty fogged up. Bummer.
Quick research shows threads on this. Some say it's normal, quoting the manual while others had the lights replaced. It looks pretty gloomy with foggy headlights.
I'd appreciate anything feedback or insight you may have to offer on next steps.
My thinking is to have them both replaced; my salesman will show it to service this morning and we'll see what they say.
I am surprised by it.

Probably relates to climate, but mine never do it and vehicle has been all over east coast but manual does address it
I'd make sure it vents/clears before you sign the paperwork; you have much more leverage if you're going to ask for a replacement before vs after

Thank you - here's one more - it'll be ready for the next weekend. Then the fun road trips begin. It's been a long wait and it almost feels real at this point.

You have gone above and beyond. You offered tasteful suggestions, strong recommendations and referrals, and a smile when things were stuck. You made the wait go by faster and the overall experience better.
Now that the car is almost done, I am glad that everything will be done to make a great car perfect. And done by the best guys in the business. It is a fact that it would not have happened that way without your help. The last set of your suggestions will make it even more outstanding.
Can't wait to see it all come together
Best

Now the fun begins
The coupe looked incredible
as you drove away

You did it right

It's the little things that set
your coupe apart from the rest
Great to meet you
Hope your wife likes everything
If there is anything else I can do
for you just ask
Thank-You

You are the BEST
It was GREAT to meet you! My wife loved everything and your good taste. She'll make an appointment so Ben can do the final thing I neglected to do :-)
What an outstanding day - got to meet you, picked up the car, took the long way home, got home more relaxed and rested than I woke up this morning (forgot all about my arm - AMG should patent 'healing aura' or some such), and then got listen to a concert in the car with my wife. Best music we ever heard!
Thank you D.B. from both of us!!

Congrats Dan, she's a beauty.
A black S63 AMG Coupe left our shop yesterday and it gave me a lot of ideas for yours. Feel free to PM me so I can share some photos with you.
Once again, congrats!

In case others are considering doing this:
My original concern about doing this work was focused on dimming the rear break lights; making them less efficient.
D.B. showed me that it wouldn't subdue the emitted light
As you can see above, it's 100% bright when needed and cool looking when not in use.
