I hope the headlights will have the appearance of more purposely designed. The headlights on the C6 appear to be sort of a second thought where the pop up housing was supposed to reside and then was changed to a fixed design.

I have never driven any car that I felt vision was poor due to lighting. I have been bothered by oncoming lights being too bright effecting my vision as well as those behind me.

No one needs lights that bright but people will always want them since they are the latest and greatest. These people are typically the same people that go out and buy the latest high def TV every other year because their old "high" definition pictures is not acceptable anymore.

100% agree. People tend to get spoiled with tech advancments. Some of these lights I see coming down the road should be illegal...like driving by someone with their brights on.

Thinking like this will get us nowhere. What if car manufactures of the past decided that gas lamps were good enough. I hate to have to get out and light my headlights. What about an electric starter, the battery could die, give me a crank any day, HA!

Yes, bi-Xenon for low/ high beam. Amber LED's along outside edge for turn. White LED's in a hockey stick shape under main beam for DRL and park functions.
