Disco Headlights, and wheel trim plastic! - 7/31/2008 12:44:54 PM    snowdude Posts: 205 Joined: 4/27/2008 From: North East Wisconsin Status: offline my 03 disco has no mechanical problems with 93k miles, but a few cosmetic problems that really annoy me. both head lights fog with condesation when its even slightly humid, and the wheel plastic fenders have faded from dark smooth black, to ruff smoke grey. dose anyone know a easy way to fix this without spending alot of money? or has anyone had these problems and got them fixed? Its usally worse then this,  usally the whole headlight. both headlights do this, right is worse, do you think they arent fitted correctly? the right side is worse the the left, the tires and fenders used to be the same color. < Message edited by snowdude -- 7/31/2008 12:49:01 PM > _____________________________ 03 disco S 96k everywhere miles.
