Always a domestic brother near by.
And don't worry there is also a little German, British, and Italian in the garage next to the domestics.

Can u please ask ur service advisor for the exact detail of the bulletin and also which dealership do u service the car too? I want to let my advisor know about the specifics of this "bulletin" so that they cant BS anymore. At least ur adviser is admitting that there is a bulletin regarding this, My advisor pretended that there is no such thing. I would let them try and fix it one or two more time then If this still happens, I would suggest that u ask for them to replace the headlights or get the car lemoned. I am pretty sure most SLS owner just does not pay attention to this detail as there are not many owners who like to enjoy staring at the car after driving em, like we dov (At least I know I do, thats how I found out + ur post). The condensation happens during driving and it will still be visible after so this shows that my adviser is talking crap when he said its normal, the way he mentioned it is that the condensation is supposed to go away after 10 min of turning the headlights, but the only reason that the condensation is there is because u turned on the headlights for sometime and it will stay there if the weather is cold. I believe that this is going to be a real pain in the ass to settle as MB would rather just sweep it under the rug and pretends that nothing happen. Lets pray that its not gonna be the case!

^^^^ I am glad you're headlights got fixed. Not the same for me.
Spoke to a MB Regional Service Manager .... Charles Harper! Who told me not in so many words to live with my headlight issues since it was stated in the owners manual that this happens.
He was horrible to speak to! Aggravated me and insulted my intelligence. I get treated better everywhere else I've been too from Toyota ---> Porsche! They most def need a new regional rep this guy was a condescending....... He tried telling me I might have not known what I was smelling when I told him i smelled burning oil!
FML!

^ After such an experience I can perfectly understand if this SLS turns out to be the last AMG or even Benz you ever purchase.
Its sad because they are amazing cars, but if that is the kind of service you are getting after spending a substantial amount, they are definitely not worth it.

The car will eventually break... when it does I am going to laugh and demand a refund. Screw getting another SLS, after owning one I know there are better made cars out there. Specially for the price tag!
