Leaky front headlight on ML320.

Hi!
Leaky front headlight on ML320.
If someone can help me, give idea how I can fix or need to replace the headlight.
I ask the dealer tall me their is no seal. The unit is factory sealed.
Do I have a chance to removed lens and a play new seal? I get rubber sealing compound.
From Mercedes dealer.

Regards

I would suspect that the bond between the lense and the headlight frame is OK. The leak is probably at the rear of the lamp assembly where the access plugs are that let you replace the bulbs.

Thank you Gilly.

When I wash the car I see water spots in side the light, and becoming steamy.
Only driver site. On the top of lens I see black staff is coming off.
I just get this car last Mont, is very new for me. A lot of technology is dramatically changed.
For my 190D I replace the lens when I get hit by stone.
I replaced bulbs on ML for new one, Sylvania – Silver Star very bright. 4000k
HID – starts 4100k.
May I need to pure the glue between the lens and body of the headlight?

Best Regards.

You could try it, the light assembly is very easy to remove. i don't have much experience trying to reglue the lense back on, so you are kind of on your own with this job. Please be sure to recheck the covers on the back side, where the bulbs are removed, because if these are left loose or the seal is gone, it can allow moisture into the lamp also.

i recently had the glass seperating from the frame part of the lense assembly.
on closer inspection the epoxy/glue/sealant stuff had failed.

it failed to the point i could completely remove/pull away the lense itself.

i tried a post here and got little response...

i went to the auto parts store and finally picked a sealant that bonds glass [windshields].

i cleaned off the old goo, cleaned the inside of the lense. reattached it and is working fine.

any chance you are under warranty?
