I've seen some new headlights on a handful of cars lately.
I'm hardpressed to describe them, but they seem to be wider than
the standard rectangular headlight -- maybe even as wide
as two adjacent headlights in a four-headlight system.
The Audi 4000S is one car that has them -- they were prominently
featured in a head-on shot of that car in a magazine ad.
The ad copy simply refers to "new European headlights (that)
improve visibility."
Aren't headlights supposed to be (somewhat) standardized in
Canadian/American cars or cars built overseas for export here?
Is this yet another allowable "standard?"
You see, I have this headlight fetish (just love the slanting headlights
on my '83 Celica -- I'll never forgive Toyota for hiding them on the '84+
Celicas!), so someone please satisfy my curiosity!
