Default Disco Headlights, and wheel trim plastic!

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?

used to be the same color.

The condensation is a common issue with the newer style headlamps.

The dealer put 'drain tubes' into the bottom of both of my headlights which cured my water problem....check here for the wheel arches.....

Your headlight seals are bad/leaking. Common problem. Do a search on this forum for the answer.

I had the same problem with my passenger side HL, I took it out and used a hairdryer to dry it out. Haven't had any problems since (knock on wood). As for the arches mine are doing the same thing??
