To be honest, I'm suprised you guys replace them at all. When it comes to Audis, you simply refinish them with a DIY kit/assortment of sandpaper. Of course, that's probably because Audi headlights are over $500/each when new. The one's that you listed for your car are relatively cheap.

this is mustang forums not audi, audi's are more expensive cars hence the better stock headlights if you get the upgraded ones. thats like saying a new honda civic lights are as good as an STS.....except the 2009 mustang with HID, about a month ago there was one behind me in my convertible and he had his lights on and i couldnt look in my rearview because they were disturbingly bright

Well, we aren't dealing with Audi's on this forum, but people do "restore" headlights. Mustang headlights tend to yellow on the inside and the outside, unlike a lot of other vehicles so replacing them is typically a much better alternative than taking the lenses off of the housings and baking them back together.. Plus the aftermarket is so huge for Mustangs that most non OEM parts are relatively inexpensive.

This is an example of restoring headlights that a lot of folks use, this is on my '03 Stratus R/T.. https://mustangboards.com/show-shine...n-my-take.html

Yes, I know Audis are more expensive :beatup:. I was still suprised that more of you don't refinish them. The point about them being yellow on the inside would certainly hinder that though.

we choose what we choose, most of us seize the unfortunate circumstances and splurge to buy a new pair to improve the look and visibility of our mustangs. refinishing in mustangs is more for mustang owners that want to keep it stock, collector, and want their vintage mustang to still be vintage

Or if you want to save money. I cleaned mine up as they were getting haggard.

these are the ones that came in my car when I got it. Im pretty sure they are the projector onesAttachment 20398

its all about your personal opinion, whatever you like is what you should do. im doing the blackouts on my 88 and a lot of people say not to, but thats what i like, honestly, i think the halos are awesome.
