im glad to hear that i got a 93' ford stang and it needs a little work and it always makes the car look newer if it has clear headlights!

thanx for the advice

Hey sorry don't really have any advice but congrats. Was it a notch or a hatch? Was it a 5.0? I love those foxbodies.

Dirk is a real tailgate-r.  He has under 70k on his year and a half old truck and the lenses look like they were sandblasted.  Will that stuff work on those?  His wife called asking for stocking stuffer suggestions.

If those headlights are pitted real bad there isn't anything you can do with them except get a new pair of them. The stuff NEBassMan mentioned works good but will only remove the cloudy stains from the lenses.

I never quite understood why Ford would use a plastic lens on their headlight assemblies.  :-?

with the pitted ones Russ, you can wet sand them, buff and polish, but it's gonna take a long time and a lot of sand paper.  You'll be up past 2000 grit to make them like new again.  Be better off getting new ones.  I suppose it would depend on how big the stocking is to fit new headlights in there ;D

By the time you buy all that sand paper, compound, buffing pads and etc you probably could buy head light assemblies for two vehicles.  ;D
