So I was washing the beast yesterday and I noticed when I was drying it that my ds headlight and parking light were slightly fogged up. Is this a common problem? it seems that there not sealed properly. I have a mb warentee till 2011 so I can probably get new headlight. Heres a pic to show you what I am talking about.

do you see actual moisture inside the light? Or does it just look like its clouded up a bit. If its the latter its just the car aging. The plastic will yellow and fade with time and there is not much you can do. You can remove the surface oxidation on the lens but often the platic just yellows a TAD with age and its straight through the plastic. My SL55 has that and it never sits outside, is protected with the best products and and polished once every few months.

It looked like moisture was on the inside. Its all gone now.

I had that happen once on the SL when I washed it with cold water on a hot day. It fogged up when I was washing it, but dried out and never came back.

I also had a fog light with condensation that was replaced under warranty. If you take it in, they will leave the lights on for 20 min and see if it dries out. If it does, they will say it doesn't need replacing.

Taso,

Double check that the headlight housing cover in the engine compartment is properly secure. I have found this to be the problem in the past after a bulb replacement or other work in the area.
