    So this is the third set of Cobra Headlights I have done a restoration on.

    I was at the gas station and was talking to an older gentleman about his low milage (15K) 2004 Cobra. We were talking about detailing and I noticed he had brand new Dark Smoked Headlights. I found out he still had the OEM Stock headlights sitting in his garage so I offered to buy them from him and the became mine!!!

    I spent a good 5-6 Days on these lights. they were already in very good condition but i wanted them show car perfect!!! I sanded, and sanded, and sanded every defect out. It took alot of time but it was well worth it.

    This is the best headlights restoration I have done to date. I spent the most time even doing a light a second time to ensure then best results. The Pics speak for themselves!!!

    Handz they look great if only you would have done this a few months ago I would have bought them off you, I ended up ordering new ones for my GT.

    Kaban Welcome to Detailing

    Awesome work! Initially I thought you had a Cobra yourself and were going to use this set to put on your car....but I see you are going to sell them?

    I don't know how much Cobra lights are worth but I doubt it's worth a weeks of manual labor + what you paid to get them...?

    I just don't see the point in going through all this effort and selling them off unless you did it for some practice?
