Default water in headlights

When I wash my SLK320, it gets water inside the headlights. Any quick do-it-yourself fix for this?

Front lens leaks around edges. remove light, clip off lens and clean the foam rubber gasket.

Thanks for the info Bazzle. I'm an engineer and pretty good with tools. Is there any special trick to this I should know before I try it or is it pretty straight forward?

There is a special clip holding the lamp assy to the car body at the bottom. The clip slides. Otherwise, screws hold the assy to the car.I would use a little sealant on the gasket when you reassemble the lamp. Hope this helps.

You will need to pop out the indicator to remove one of the screws. Push screwdriver down hole behind ind under hood to open catch.
