Driving home in the dark I learned, was rather scary in a ford puma! So I decided to try and improve the situation by cleaning the lights. Only problem was I needed the car for the next day so I had to put the lights back on, thus the condensation! but that has cleared itself after a couple of days and driving everywhere with the lights on!
The lights were really filthy, which doesn't really show that well in photo:

Unit washed out with de-ionised water (to reduce water marking):

On another note, I refitted the bonnet liner and resonator box. I have made a temporary repair on the liner until I get a new one.
This was before, I just dabbed the damaged area with some black model makers weathering powder (from my airfix days) to blend it in as in pic above :

Pulled carpet back to gain access:

My wheels need refurbing and I came across a thread about spraying standard puma alloys black, got me thinking.
I generated these in Photoshop.
