Default C6 HEADLIGHTS

The C6 headlights design is ok by me, BUT it doesn't have the aggressive ( I am going to kick your butt) look as this Attack kit car has



What do you people think?

P.S. I think GM should have installed Bi-Xenon headlights instead of xenon low beam and halogen high beams.

Since both the high and low are projectors, I imagine the aftermarket will have something to address this :cheers:

I know, but my point was it would be nice if they had incorporated it sooner.
As with all mods that will give GM an excuse to void the warranty should something happen.

The styling is over the top, but it's nice to see something different. To hear some tell it, pods-under-glass is the only modern possibility.

Anything is possible but in practical terms headlights under glass or plastic or what ever the material makes sense. It is the cleanest solution. As soon as you stick something up in the air it adds drag. This is actually progress, the DOT in their wisdom would not let Ferrari bring in the 1970 Daytona because it's head lights were covered. By then, they didn't like "knock-off" wheels either.

I don't understand this continuous attack on the new C6 headlights. It is done, finished, going to be publically announced tomorrow, and they look AWESOME. I think GM did a great job and if it pisses a bunch of people off, I guess the designers did their work. That is their job, try new things.

I wasn't attacking, I even mentioned that i liked the design. I was merely stating it does not have an aggressive mean look to it.

I also think the headlights in the above picture are much cooler looking more appropriate for the corvette than what we got.
