My lenses are pretty well done. 2004 V6 "base" Mustang, DSG. I can clean them up, but it'll take a while. They're nasty. Looks like new lenses aren't that expensive. What would you guys replace them with? Stock look? Cobra? Etc?

Cobra and v6 use the same headlights...so just buy oem replacements.


Before youndonthis, have you tried polishing them? Auto parts stores sell plastic headlight polish. 15 mins of polishing each light, followed by a coat of wax might bring your originals back to looking good again.

i went with aftermarket ones from american muscle and they are actually bad ass in my opinion, i mean its all in how you want the car, if you want to stay stock buy OEM lens, but if you hate the stupid hazy blocky designed headlights that ford put in the mustang than go with aftermarket . and trust me if you go aftermarket go with ones from a place like american muscle or something like that because they are of alot better quality than the cheap ones on ebay.

since you're going to do the trouble of replacing them, i'd go with some that are NOT hazy, ie, NOT oem.
