Lighting - Headlamp Unit Fogged/Droplets Forming
Lamp unit fogged/droplets forming
Topic number LI82.10-P-051769
Version 2
Design group 82.10 Exterior lights
Date 09-05-2012
Validity All models
Reason for change New repair method
Complaint
Lamp unit fogged or droplets forming.
Cause
Due to the vent openings, the lamp unit is an "open system".
This means that acidic gases, moisture, dirt and exhaust gases can penetrate it.
This can result in deposits on the diffuser and lens.
Remedy
Check housing cover of lamp unit for natural fogging or dew as per LI82.10-P-050139.
1. If a reduction in the degree of fogging is visible, the pressure compensation membrane can be inserted after complete evaporation of the dew.
2. If no reduction in the degree of fogging is visible, the lamp unit is defective and must be replaced.
However, the cover with the pressure compensation membrane should also be attached in this case.
Note:
Residual fogging is possible due to the laws of physics and is OK.
Fogging does not impair the functionality or the service life of the lamp unit.
Pressure compensation membranes should always be used on both lamp units.
Attach housing cover with pressure compensation membrane:
1. Remove lamp unit
2. Remove all vent opening grommets.
3. Seal vent openings with sealing profile.
Important:
All openings must be sealed carefully for the pressure compensation membrane to work properly!
4. Insert housing cover with pressure compensation membrane.
5. Install lamp unit.
W/S 204 Attach pressure compensation membrane to housing cover of lamp unit:
1. Remove lamp unit
2. Remove all vent opening grommets.
3. Seal vent openings with sealing profile.
Important:

2026 Mercedes-Benz GLB Review: Handling Dynamics Under Duress Part 7 of 10 | Is the Utility King also a True Driver's Companion? Testing its Grip, Feel, and Cornering Confidence.

Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG Reliability - 2018 Ratings

New AMG SUV is the first full-size SUV which has that two way of building combined. 2 separate 1/4 mile records were made by two separate RENNtech cars at Palm Beach International Raceway on Wednesday night. The C350 took everything up a notch, but again not a night and day experience, while the C63 is otherworldly, its power devastating, adhesion and correlating road manners unfathomable for such a solid, substantial four-door sedan. I took my girlfriend to an Italian restaurant in Austin, Texas that we had both wanted to try for a while. While the show car does not look anything like the current Impreza, equally Subaru insists the concept鈥檚 styling forms only a guide to the production WRX. The interior of this car has been designed to have an elegant yet sporty look that matches perfectly with the vehicle鈥檚 overall appeal. To get the power onto the road, the rear tires are wider than the front ones on a mid-engined car - usually about 30% wider. Also look for a return of the hybrid S...
