Just Wondering
Drove down to the "Jersey shore" this morning. There was a lot of fog on the way down, so I used my headlights and fog lights.
As they popped up I thought: These pop up headlights sure are an integral part of a corvette. I actually liked the way they looked popped up.
Am I the only one who appreciates the pop up headlights?

No, you're not alone. All 9 of my Vettes have had pop-up headlights - at this point can't imagine having one without them.

love the pop ups. It is pure Corvette and it is one of the things that makes Corvettes stand out. I don't care about weight or functionality or anything else except that it is Corvette. Maybe I am an old fart traditionalist but there is nothing sexier than a C5, period. The C6 is just so much like so many other entries and it just seems something is missing on the front.

NOPE! In fact my wife and I attended a club dinner recently and as our friends exited the parking lot, she noticed the C6's lights and told me she likes ours better.
btw, I changed my low beams to HID's under Toque's tutelage. They work great(much better than stock) and I haven't been flashed once.
How does one agree with every post on a thread??

Nobody seems to remember,,that the first 10 years of Corvettes did NOT have pop ups(or roll overs in the case of the C2's)!! I do prefer the look of them down,,I don't mind them up,but not wild about them. Bottom I DO love my FRC,,nothing else looks like it and ya gotta love that!!

At night your C5 looks so evil,wicked,nasty,sweet with the lights on that it a non issue. I'm with the traditional crowd, it's part of the heritage(don't ask me about fixing C3 vacuum issues)
