light condensation on my ds headlight and city light after washing the car
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.

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.
