OEM Cobra headlight restoration.

[98green5.4]

So I've been reading up on Handz thread, and i was determined to get my lights as beautiful as his. well, i didn't get them just like his, but i do realize this is because he is great at detailing and restoring anything to do with car cleaning. anyways, just would like to get some input on what you guys think of them. i'll get more pics later on with my good camera. cell phone pics are always FTL. another thing. i'm having trouble making these friggin lights line up like my old gt lights. any trick or something to make them shine even down the road and have even height on a garage door or something similar.

oh yeah, i shaved the little bumps on the headlights on another set i have. turned out pretty good. will also get pics of that.
-Another shout out to handz for the write up i was using to follow while doing my lights.

looks good dude

 

[98green5.4]

thanks man.

they look 100 times better than the stock lights, and they look 100 times better than what they used to look like with all the yellow crap on the front of the light. i'm just not happy with how they put out light right now. lol.

Nice job, maybe more buffing to get them as clear and shiny as Handz?

 

[SRT Handz]

Looks great buddy!!! Glad my write up was able to help you out !!!

 

[CC'S95GT]

Big difference. All you need is some more elbow grease and patience

Looks good man. maybe a Finer grit Polish will help you out.

 

[98green5.4]

yeah probably so Win. thanks for all the good words everyone!

Looks great. I redid some foglights this weekend on my SRT and I was amazed at how easy it was, I've been thinking about picking up a set of OEM Cobras to fix up and throw on my stang too. They look so nice. Good work, now get them installed!

 

[98green5.4]

Thanks! if you want a good write up, go check out handz's thread.

and they're already in my car. just having trouble alliigning them to point where i want. haha

 

[98green5.4]

here are the lights in the car. cell phone pics suck.... but i like them. they look pretty much new

 

[SRT Handz]

Thats Almost as clear as mine came out. I sand THE HELL out of my lights and used a 3 step polish process. Seems like you need some more polishing. Or hit it with some more sanding. Sanding more cant hurt cause it will buff right out lol

My lights were as shitty as yours when i bought them from "Paul"

 

[Matt94GT]

those look amazing man, does the same process work for tail's i assume?

 

[98green5.4]

Yeah the same process on tails should would work.
