I've been looking for some ideas for an alternative to pop up headlights. Haven't found anything in search. Any ideas or pics?

With the Fiero type i posted, all it would take is a different light holding mechanism and a reduced ratio for the lift mechanism. the only legal problem would be if the centers of the headlights dont meet the minimum height above the road requirements. WHat i don't like is the HUGE surface area of the open headlight, it looks so ungainly! the lower profile is much less ungainly.
California code: 24400. (a) A motor vehicle, other than a motorcycle, shall be equipped with at least two headlamps, with at least one on each side of the front of the vehicle, and, except as to vehicles registered prior to January 1, 1930, they shall be located directly above or in advance of the front axle of the vehicle. The headlamps and every light source in any headlamp unit shall be located at a height of not more than 54 inches nor less than 22 inches. |
