Just think of all the thousands of gallons of oil that were burned because Ford decided not to put a simple creased edge on all the thousands of Focus cars they produced over the years !

To the OP : looks like its time to break out some clear plexi pieces over those lights !

And we would all love to see a tuft test of the area !
