Tribute to Pop Up Headlights: (Part 1 of 2)

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.

Music:

Is it only me..
or it's really like a beasts waking up and opening their eyes?

4:06 C4 Corvette 180 degree upside-down flip remains the absolute coolest! Very elegant way to keep a fairly aerodynamic profile and avoid the airbrake effect of the excess wind-catching metal in the other designs.

9:26 Holy crap, the headlights slide in place.

[bronygamingdeathpon]

They look so freaking cute when their lights go up *^* we need more cars like this #savethepopups

[sonyviva]

Music sounds like it came from Need For Speed 3. Very nostalgic and fits this video. Love it.

Where are the Celicas??
Did you forgot them?!

[zeldadahedgehog]

Some of these cars I honestly didnt even know the lights on them popped up

[bratattack]

I drive a Fiat X1/9 and I still get giddy with excitement when I see the pop ups rise. It's a sense of occasion that only us will appreciate.
Cheers for making this. There are some truly amazing styles.

Best kind of headlights ever made. That's why I bought my first gen saturn sc2 had the pop ups!

[justinanderson]

The Opel GTs are cool they flip out and those slide out ones on the Vector W8 are awesome

[SANYUR]

I miss the pop up Headlights, turn on the headlight is like car is waking up, however Pop up headlights produce a lot of Drag at speeds.

I did not expect to see some love for the 4th gen Trans Am, I love the pop ups on mine even thought they clank around like tin cans. Pop up lights are the most unique and cool lights I've ever seen.

Where's James when you need him?? POP UP UP AND DOWN HEADLIGHTS!

[ozziindaus]

Great compilation Chris. Glad you put it together.

[モーターチャンネル]

You've missed some non-exotic cars... Isuzu Piazza, Subaru XT, Honda Prelude, Honda CRX, Eunos 100,  Aston Martin Lagonda, Acura Integra, Toyota Celica, Mazda Cosmo Series HB, Toyota Trueno AE86, Geo Storm. Impressive project though! 

[alvaro]

Awesome video! I love how the Corvette C4 does it. It ends up looking really smooth, without sharp edges. Those 80s Ferraris and the 928 are also sweet to watch.

[garybuelow]

Great video, must have taken quite awhile to do. 67-70 Merc Cougars to add to list, a real joy to have working flipping lights and a a expensive problem to fix when they are not, what a joy to work on then.

[SpringOffensiveCat]

3:49 The most beautiful car ever made in the history of automobile ladies and gentlemen.

[habdman]

The synthwave music, the bad video quality, the beasts opening up their eyes.... it's just, glorious.
