Never heard of this before; I may give it a go; however, I might wait till the cornering lights need to be replaced, despite the fact that I've replaced them on another W212 and it wasn't that difficult.

Despite this, someone ought to market ready-made kits.

On my S211, I was planning to repair the lens and separate the headlights; in fact, this is something that is now on my to-do list. If this strategy is successful, using it might result in significant time savings, making it well worth the effort to test out.

Do you have a link to the merchandise on eBay?

It would seem that the actual (cleaning) product is sold by MB themselves, and the price range is somewhere between 10 and 15 pounds, in my estimation. I don't know whether it's simply the booze or not.

However, the magnet, the microfibres, and the grabber tool are not offered as part of a kit; rather, you are responsible for locating these items on your own. You must also sew the magnet into the towel!

I haven't given it a go yet, but I was able to get rid of the thick condensation that had collected inside one headlight after driving through a very deep puddle when it was raining. I accomplished this by heating up some water in the microwave. I started by removing the cover from the rear, which allowed me access to one of the bulbs, and then I blew compressed air into it. It took around thirty minutes, but it fixed the problem, and everything has been perfect ever since.
