I love popup headlights... They look great, in my opinion, and are unique on the road enough to just be an eye catcher, and make any car just look ten times better when they're closed and flush with the body line. The solution to racing at night? Bright fog lamps, problem solved. You don't actually have to open the lights up if your fogs are almost if not just as bright and adjusted so they shine where you need them, as you race. The amount of times I've been pulled over in my mk3 supra, with only the fog lights on, and no cop ever noticed or questioned it, because they were bright and functional enough to pass as the normal lights to those who don't know, which is most people. Likewise if you go to a track day, chances are, it's during the day, again, don't need your headlights.

No No more blinding than bright or badly adjusted headlights. Illegal? You realize I was discussing ways to street race at night with pop up headlights, right? If you're worried about the 'legality' of this matter, it probably doesn't concern you to begin with.

Bright foglamps? That sit 8 inches off the ground? Seems unsafe. Some people are more concerned with outright function rather than aesthetics. There is beauty in function and I personally love the true fixed flush lights. It's a shame the nice ones cost over a stack. Also apparently its like a 20lbs weight reduction and thats off the highest point on the nose of the car....

The reason they went with pop-up headlights is because they were playing to their market... The late-night street racer, running a corvette, back in the late 1990's, was a very niche market for the Corvette... They were catering to their target market, the middle-aged to older guy who wanted a "cool" looking street cruiser that would turn heads. Back in the late 1990's, pop-up headlamps were just that - technological and cool. It was about style, not functionality. When the C6 came out in 05, "aerodynamic" was the new "cool", so the change was made.

+tricky99144 But there are some major performance decreases due to the drag they have when you are street racing, usually at night and at the track. I had a 89 Formula 350 and I gained 3 tenths (average) in time just on the quarter mile run with the lights off. I could only guess how it would affect lap times. But I do agree with your point as well. Freakin 80's and corvettes, who didn't have pop up headlights then. lol

Looks like a tastefully modified Vette. Well done. I think you are making a bigger deal out of popup headlights than needed, but heh, it's your car and your choice. My '94 RX7 has them but I rarely use them anymore because it's primary use is for daytime joy riding out on the back roads. They aren't very high like my old '91 Miata's popups. Damn, those were ridiculous looking. Actually, I think popup headlights are pretty cool. If for nothing else, they'll make a conversation piece for the car collectors of the future. Hell, we are already talking about them today.
