Tribute to Pop Up Headlights: (Part 1 of 2)
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
This has got to be my most ambitious project yet! This is a tribute to a feature on cars we all love: popup headlights. You'll see Vector supercars, a Cizeta V16t, all Ferraris and Lamborghinis, Toyota 2000GT, TVRs, a Cord 810 Plymouth Superbird, BMW M1, - just about any car you can think of that has popup or hidden headlamps! This is NOT a slide show, it is a collection of video clips and they are NOT taken from Google, they are all taken by me unless otherwise noted.

Seeing all these cars open up headlights is satisfying
I miss that feature man...thanks for the tribute
Great video, with some very cool versions of the pop up lights (Alfa Montreal and Opel GT and other ones i've never seen working before). Ive owned over 230 cars with pop up lights, but 225 of them were MR2s! Another one I didn't see is the Panther Solo, which had swivelling headlights. But there were only about 20 were built.

Thanks Neil! It's funny you mentioned the Panther Solo, that was on my list of cars to find. But as you mentioned, they are nearly impossible to find. I'm working on a Volume 2 of this video, and I have slight hope of finding one. And....225 MR2s??? That's one hell of an enthusiast right there! lol I always loved the Japanese sports cars from the early 90s, like the Dodge Stealth, Misubishi 3000GT, Nissan 300ZX, and the Toyota MR2.

Most cars that have them usually have front clips that are "aero" and slope downward from your eyepoint behind the wheel. I knew this from my original Miata, and my C5 Corvette later on. Best feature about them to me is that when you quickly raise them as you pull into a parking spot, you have a bit more visual confirmation of where the end of your car is, so that they reduce the likelihood you will hit something with your bumper. In addition, protecting the lenses from rocks or UV fade in the case of plastic ones that are sadly the norm these days, is a huge plus in my book. Mostly, they look clean which sports car people rather like. YMMV.
One of the most original and amazing videos on KZread, i've ever seen. Congrats!
