If ever we needed proof of how old SN-95 Mustangs have become, it shows in their exterior plastic pieces, such as head and parking lamp modules, which turn milky like old yellowed paper over time.
Seems like yesterday when we were at the '94 Mustang Job 1 ceremony. At Dearborn assembly on October 4, 1993, there was much fanfare celebrating the all-new SN-95 Mustang's mass production start-up. Ford's chairman Red Poling and soon-to-be chairman, Alex Trotman, hopped into a bright red '94 Mustang GT convertible and blasted through a curtain to launch an exciting new Mustang era. It was at the SN-95 Job 1 launch that Poling handed over the symbolic keys to Ford Motor Company to Trotman, signaling Poling's retirement.
That moment in Mustang history is 16 years gone now and the "Team Coletti" SN-95 Mustangs are suddenly overnight contemporary classics. They were an exciting first step toward getting back to what the Mustang was to begin with. The SN-95 was well received and remains one of the most popular Mustangs ever produced with untold thousands still on the road-many of them with aged headlights.

We decided to replace our friend's milky headlights and parking lights with replacements for the '94-'98 SVT Cobra, which have more of a clear appearance. Brothers Performance also offers stock replacements made from durable GE Lexan plastic.
We decided to help out a buddy by replacing the milky headlights and parking lamp modules on his '95 GT coupe with a new set of SVT Cobra pieces from Brothers Performance. This is an affordable, one-afternoon project you can do in your driveway without burning up a month's lunch money.

In theory, you're supposed to remove them with a Phillips screwdriver (gently, counterclockwise) and they back right out.

Depress the plastic adjustor inserts with a common screwdriver or needle nose pliers and gently pull on the module. |
