Pop-Up Headlights Vote (Yes/No)

I am just wandering how many people actually like the Pop-Up headlights. I think they are okay but really make me mad when they start going AWAL! Just give it a vote(:

Re: Pop-Up Headlights Vote (Yes/No)

I like them, it was a PITA when mine were messed up and I'd have to go out in the rain and put them up, but I got a kit from hawks, rebuilt them, and no problem since. Of course looks is what we're talking about, and I love the look of them down or up. Without the flip up lights, we wouldn't have the universal "Bird greeting...idk if you guys all do this, but locally, when another Firebird passes by, we flip the lights up to wave...even the little old lady who drives her v6 firebird through my town has gotten in on it, lol. so i say YES!

I like the pop-up lights. I just wish they went up a little lower like this.

They're why I think firebirds look better. Well the tail lights too.

Those look awsome.

As for the poll, I like 'em. They make the front end look sleek when they're down and I like watching them pop up. It just re-enforces the '80s hi tech design.

I love hidden headlights. My 1969 Charger has doors, which are neat in their own way. I love the pop ups on the Birds even more.

The pop up lights is one reason why I bought the Firebird. I have had a MR2 and a 81 Vette so I better like them. As for the Charger doors I like them also. Similar to my other chicken, a 68 Thunderbird.
