So, I acquired another set of OEM 2003 Mustang Cobra Headlights. These ones came from a 10th Anniversary Cobra. They had some really weird sun damage from being cooked in the So Cal Sun... So i gave them a REALLY good Restoration. The ones took ALOT of time, I have a good 6 hours into them to remove all the defects. Also tried a few new products and liked the results.

Looks good, I absolutely love restoring headlights. The before/afters can be quite drastic.

How is it possible to make decent money detailing these... unless you are getting the messed up ones for under $40/pair...

Those are very nice. When I got my 03 Cobra it had the same sun dammage on the edges. I ended up replacing them with a smoked set anyway but I should have tried to restore the factory ones as I just sold them for like $50 with the defects in them.

I really really need to do my Marks headlights. They are really hazed now.

How do you get these? I have a set of bad sun damaged ones that I replaced with tinted ones if you buy them...
