Hidden headlights

Hidden headlights are an automotive design feature that hides the headlights of a car when not in use. Depending design, the lights can be mounted in a box that turns to look good with the front and the Porsche 928, can get on the hood and / or defenses as the Corvette 19682004 Chevrolet, or may be concealed behind retractable or rotating panels the grid as in the 1966 Dodge Charger.

hidden headlights first appeared in the cable 810 in 1936. Each unit had a crank on the side of the dashboard, which became the hand when the lights are needed.

Developed Hidden headlights were pioneers in the car GM Buick Y-Job Concept of 1938 and were used briefly in DeSoto Chrysler Corporation from 1942 production. The popularity of the role has changed over time. hidden headlights regained popularity in late 1960, especially in the U.S. market aerodynamic headlights that were not allowed. A variety relatively incorporate large car headlights hidden in the 1970's, 80's and early 1990. Currently, the headlights are hidden in disgrace.

Many car manufacturers hidden headlights used to move through the regulation height of the lighthouse in the United States, for example Toyota exported its version of the retractable headlights of the AE86, known nationally and the Sprinter Trueno for its Corolla Levin as the previous tallest lighthouse was enough to meet U.S. regulations instead of increasing the height the body that affects handling.

U.S. law now allow aerodynamic headlamps with respect to which the hidden headlights represent an additional cost weight and complexity and reliability concerns as the old cars. Internationalized ECE motor vehicle safety standards have also recently joined the pedestrian protection regulations restrict body bumps, making it more difficult and expensive headlights pop-compatible design.

The last Once the pop-up headlights on a car appeared in the volume of production was in 2004 when both the Lotus Esprit and ended production Corvette C5.
