Misting in headlights for new cars, normal?

[Guest Leftfield]

Was told that this is normal as the cars were transported from a colder climate to Singapore, hence the misting. It will go away in a few days. Is that true? And if so, will it leave water marks?

Ya lor, I am also sceptical. Anyway, will observe for a few days then see how...

bro like not normal especially your HL is the projector lens type with DRL, like yours has no high beam so is it incorp into the projection low beam, sorry dunno how to describe this. so what i mean is that if high beam is not separate then likely your HL is air-tight, so should not have misting, just suspecting

Had the same thing happened to my ride for the first 3 days. After that ok liao.

No problem after that. Coming 2 months liao never happen again.

[Guest SeaClass]

The test drive car had this problem too. It was raining that day and the SE said that could be a factor. :shocked:

[Guest Cklasse]

If u read the manual, it says it's normal to have a little water vapor in the light unit. It will disappear after some time or else seek MB service.

How I know? I read the manual last night like I am going to take exam this morning.

Same for E cabrio, i thought is due to washing!! So what is the reason!!

Dont worry bro, all my family merc also like that one - even for my C-Coupe. It'll go off after a few days. So far no issues.

Alamak bapak, don't like that say like. Me only small fry. I don't know much. But whatever I know and can contribute, sure contribute one :becky:

Baik lah. Haaa... might be dropping by Batam in late Feb and Mid March, sure chio you for kopi or quickie if you free. Haaa... and this time, I buy! :hungry:

[Guest tzehou]

Errr.... pai sey, I meant quick meal (since bapak always a busy man. Haaa... important people, always busy sekali ya) :becky:

[Guest tzehou]

My advice is to leave it.... the worst thing that can happen is that they'll drill a small hole behind the headlamp assembly. But long story cut short, don't worry. Unless your head lamp got so much water in it until you can keep goldfish, then you go back and bang table :bounce:
