abolfaz Report post Posted December 31, 2011 Stuck in traffic today noticing how many new cars have ugly front ends and headlights. Think of some of the iconic cars whose front ends were made possible with "pop up" headlights... Now thanks to the safety nazi's we're left to deal with this shit... WTF?! How many people have pop up headlights actually killed?! I miss pop up lights! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vyce77 Report post Posted December 31, 2011 No kidding? So no love for this? That isn't horrible, but now show a picture with the lights up I like the conversions done to most cars that originally had pop-ups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan-Herbie Report post Posted January 1, 2012 Love pop up lights.. Just adds something cool to the car watching them go up! One of the reasons I like the 98 Sv over the 99! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambo128 Report post Posted January 1, 2012 Don't forget the Pantera..whose headlights you have to crank up manually most of the time. And they are UGLY when in use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ag02M5 Report post Posted January 1, 2012 Liked the pop-ups way back when but prefer the cleaner lines of the fixed headlights of today. I'm sure aero is slightly reduced with them up but then again, you probably shouldn't be testing out the limits of the car in the dark. I'm with vyce77...I like most of the conversions from popup to fixed lights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ameer Report post Posted January 1, 2012 I was just discussing this with friends recently, we all agreed pop up headlights were cool back in the day, and made for some stunning designs. Just out of curiosity can the pop up headlights be fitted to 99-00 Diablos? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of some of the iconic cars whose front ends were made possible with "pop up" headlights... I'm kind of partial to those headlights too.

just_hayes Report post Posted January 1, 2012 As someone alluded to this is probably a generational thing. When I think pop-up headlights I think UGLY, but I am a mid 80s baby so by the time I could buy a car they were banished. Many look great with them down but all I can think about is how they look up. :shudder: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
