Condensation in 2022 315CDi headlights

Hi

I have condensation in both Headlights on my 2022 315CDi, as attached photos. It appears worse after a cold morning. Should this be covered under the warranty - Istill have a month left !!

I doubt whether a claim under warranty would be accepted as they would report a small amount is normal and the condensation should evaporate...

How much headlight condensation is acceptable

C200 AMG line 2014 with 14.5k miles only. Now on third and fourth headlamp units and yet again getting excessive condensation on inside of the lamp unit.

I agree with the above but, as you still have some time left, it’s worth it. I would argue, did it happen when new? If not, then you have an argument. Does the other side have the same issue?

I do also wonder with all shoddy modern build quality and poor materials, if you have a very fine crack that may not be visible causing this?

I had this on my SL which was a £100k car new, it soon evaporated when driven and would only appear occasionally parked outside overnight in winter, owned the car for 6 years and the lights never failed, I wouldn't worry..

Generally seen this sort of thing with a few modern cars, some get a bit around the main central lens, some by the odd led segment.

If it didn’t happen when it was new, for the sake of it, I’d log it now with the dealer and argue that needs revealing etc. If it’s happened from new, then sadly as above, one will have to live with it even though it’s a defect.
