looks like your headlight rods are bent or your headlight motors are disconnected

the headlights are not broken, ive gone for the sleeping eyelids look.

which can be done by taking a fuse out, and then adjusting the headlight.

hey, look!
here's you............................................... .................................................. .................................................. .........here's the joke

eh, just giving you crap, but hey, the car looks nice. Needs the rear spoiler to finish out the car though. wheels look nice, and how did you paint the engine bay? did you pull the engine or just cover it up and hope for the best?

I dunno if anyone noticed but your headlights are broken.

Overall its a nice looking car. I don't agree with the S5 parts on it(tails/mirrors) but I can't make you stop.

u stick to your neons and ill stick to my broken headlights thanks.

thanks for the positivie comments though.

1987rx7guy: as far as i know those are s4 mirrors and not a big fan of the s4 lights, to each there own i guess though.

Falcoms: i hate spoilers thats why i took mine off. and i bought this car as a rolling body (no gearbox or motor) so there was no engine in it when i painted the engine bay. I just used enamel matt black spray paint, one that was heat resistant.

prove to me this has happened more than once and ill rethink my style, otherwise i think you are just making up **** to backup your lame little comments. Everyone has there own personal preference, why not just leave it at that.

And to comment on the driving like morons part, a person who drive like a moron with or without "broken headlights" is a risk to themselves and others, dont tie in a personal preference in look to ones ability to drive and act in a mature manner when behind the wheel of a vehicle.

Man that FC looks sik bro first one ive seen sacked on it ***** outside of Tokyo =D nice too see u going for the sleeper headlight look also, i seemed to be the only one in the US region with my headlights dipped i cant stand bug eye lights and the spoiler only seemed useful if i was doing a descent 550mph which i dont think it can do lol.

As for the danger of headlights being dipped maybe some of u need to try them before assuming u cant see at night, the headlights still aim perfectly well ahead of the car

On these cars I'm willing to bet the spoiler starts having a good effect at about 85mph...

Don't put down the spoilers... they are (slightly) functional.

But still, I like this guy's car.. more importantly I like how he defends himself from the attacks on the sleepy headlights. It IS a personal preference... because of the FTP lenses I do NOT think it's limiting the amount of light by any good amount to complain about... so get over it...

Personally I do think it looks a little ghey... like your car is all emo... but like you said, personal preference and you've got a very nice project going.
