Headlights OEM Porsche or OEM Honda
I enjoy the wedge-look of my 944 when the headlights are down. I don't mind the look when they're up, but they just look better down.
The novelty was cool right after purchasing the car, but now I'm more worried about something breaking with them and having to pay a big repair bill for something pretty simple.
I went for a 996.2 for the Turbo style headlights... but those fried eggs kinda look good on the GT3!
I like how the amber part gives the impression of the cut line for the hood flowing around to the fender.
Now, I do like the pop up headlights. I've always liked the undeniable 80's look about them and still get a warm fuzzy feeling inside every time I turn my headlights on and see them rise up.
Porsche has some pretty impressive headlights. The Cayenne I bought used had the technology package or something that included the HID headlights, so I don't know if that statement stands for their regular headlights. But, having had a couple of vars with HIDs now, the Porsche is mind boggling. Not only does it illuminate for a long distance, but the angle of illumination is astounding. With the brights on, I can see 50 feet off of the road on either side clearly illuminated to watch for wild life.
Great car. Ugly headlights
I don’t know why, but I like them on the 996 but don’t on the 986
I prefer the 987 front end to my 986 fried egg headlights.
7th gen Civic headlights were worthless. A bunch of flashlights duct taped to the hood would be an improvement. Honda must have gotten an earful because the 8th gen Civic had excellent units.
Headlights are generally useless. Mine are yellowed, fogged and badly pitted from goodness knows what. I need to replace them sometime this fall before The Great Darkness® sets in.
