Message-ID: <469@hlwpc.UUCP> Date: Fri, 18-Jan-85 17:14:35 EST Article-I.D.: hlwpc.469 Posted: Fri Jan 18 17:14:35 1985 Date-Received: Sat, 19-Jan-85 01:49:29 EST Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories, Short Hills, NJ Lines: 16 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!
