It's been raining a lot recently in Italy, and I've noticed humidity under the headlight glass on the driver's side of my 2002 200 SLK. I haven't found specific or useful information on this problem and SLK's in my search...

I kept the lights on for a 2 hour drive in dry weather, and the headlight improved quite a bit, but there's still condensation there... How might I access the area, and dry it with a hair dryer? Lastly, is there a definite cure for the problem, and have others encountered it?

Thanks!

I had condensation in both turn signal lenses when I washed the car. I never saw condensation during a rain shoer. MB replaced the gaskets and I haven't had the problem again. Maybe it's a similar gasket problem?

Took my slk in for maintenance @ 34,000 km., SMarciano1, and the technician ordered a gasket. He said that the gasket was a bit dried out, and when "power washed", some water got in under the gasket. Thanks!
