How To Remove/Replace Headlight Lenses?
I received new headlight lenses for my 1993 Cobra. Looking at the new
lenses I can see three (3) attachment points, and looking at the existing lenses there are long bolts that fit into these attachment points. However, I don't see any sort of nut or clip on these bolts. So how do you get the lenses off/out? Help! Patrick |

Your headlights shouldn't be significantly different than TFrog's. If it's any consolation, I was able to do the swap myself. Some of those nuts were a difficult reach (there's not a lot of room to work in), but it's manageable. dwight |

No, it's was from HELP to a posted How-To Article in three hours. There was no cursing, only yawns. Was it just three hours? Wow, it's amazing what you can accomplish when you're fully awake. But, yeah, it was a fairly simple job. And the results are amazing! Why anyone, myself included, would spend time polishing the old, yellowed lenses is now beyond me. From now on I'll say just replace them! Patrick > I used to have abs.

The new ones I purchased have the Ford oval modeled into them. Is Ford allowing others to make and market them as a Ford part? If so, I wonder how these new lenses will hold up compared to the originals? Anyone know...? IMO, they have to use better materials/plastics than the originals. Patrick > I used to have abs.

How To Remove/Replace Headlight Lenses?
I just put in Black projection headlights. They look awesome.
http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2.../IMAGE_016.jpg They looked terrible before I put the new ones in. I am very happy with the new effect. I don't know why anyone put stock lights back in, when I got these for 134 dollars on ebay. I got the whole headlight assembly with it. Josh |

Josh, Some, myself included, would much rather have a car that looks stock but runs like a modified, than a car that looks modified but runs like it's stock. In other words, sleepers rule! Patrick |
