I've been on planet earth for 39 years and just realized I've never seen an xj220's headlights open. *mind blown* different than i expected. Very cool!

[ArtHotelRiposo]

I could watch this all day great soundtrack too

This video is soul food, absolutely appreciating it in every way.

These tribute videos to pop-up headlights needed to be made! - Nice one. 😁 - I was fascinated by them as a kid, I suspect because they made an event out of the relatively mundane action of switching light bulbs on... and of course they were synonymous with the lion's share of all the cool cars as well. I was sorry to see the industry motivated to turn their back on them.

[komradkolonel]

I liked the pop up headlights and was kind of disappointed when automakers discontinued them. The one that kind of got me was on the C4 Corvette. I thought those were needlessly complicated and could have been simplified. Also I think that might be a Chrysler Imperial Frank Sinatra Edition at 2:27. Those are kind of rare now.

[AutomotiveAffairs]

This is simply an awesome video... you got some truly rare cars showing off their headlights :) Now waiting for your W8 test drive video :)

[Redline]

Absolutely fantastic, thanks for allowing to showcase my two Toronado Trofeo! @2:58

[envikka]

Those covered headlights that have "garage doors" look so cool.

[pjr]

Another fabulous collection sir! Thank you!

[StellarionPrime]

3:57, these are sick ... like a transformer showing its guns

[zextr]

12:54 is my wonderful 1984 Mazda 929! haha i got a big shock when i saw it in the video as the car has changed somewhat from when i shot that footage of the lights! so glad to see this video after so many years!

[RenoLaringo]

I always loved those. I’ve had 3 cars with pop ups. A toyota celica, a volvo 480 and a honda prelude. I loved the sight from the steering wheels.

[JonAfek]

@4:41 that's my silver Fiero! Thanks for the awesome video!

[Quacks]

13:09 "Seriously, Michael --- I look ridiculous with these DRAGON-FLY lamps! Couldn't you have asked Devon for something a bit more tasteful and elegant, like an eagle or a swan?!" :D :D

[TheMidEnginedLegend]

I love it, thank you so much for the Fiero love!

[diggingattycho]

Very nice, shucks, I wish I would have known about this. I"m around the car scene in AZ, and I could have gotten a few more for you. But I don't do social media for my own sanity.
It's very interesting how these guys hid their headlights, it really was a statement. Today I see a lot of cars with angry expressions, they must be upset they can't have cool headlights.
We can thank regulators for the pop-ups going away.

[jeremythomas]

Thanks so much for the love for my 88 z31 Shiro and tag . Great vid and tribute to the best auto history or a lifetime 😜👊

[monzarace]

GREAT videos on pop-up headlights. And fun to see all the crazy designs on those cars.
Kind regards,
jacques

[Youtuber-o]

Cars from the 80s looked much cooler than today's.

[GregSr]

Coincidentally, three of my four cars have pop-up headlights. I love it when both headlights (or covers) are prompt and well synchronized.
