looks retarded m8

this is much better

Mb makes the most prettiest looking ones. Looks elegant (on high end models)
I like how bmw makes theirs looks aggressive but pretty at the same time.

>>16885912
Most of the times, I don't. But in this case, I actually do. It's just not aerodynamic. I have a feeling Chevrolet was just being cheap.

I just want headlights that actually give decent amounts of light, and not just thrown candle lights like most seem to be

>>16885927
Sure you do

>>16885963
Yes I do. Also, just use common sense. How many other cars do you see WITHOUT headlight covers? Absolutely fucking none. Cause it's just not aerodynamic. It's just shitty Chevrolet being shitty Chevrolet.

>cheap fiat sedans

>>16885947
Thosr Audi headlights actually blinded me quite a few times. Though it might be caused by my living in Poland where people aim their headlights at the fucking sky and think using fogs at night helps anything. I've been driving in Denmark and Germany and it's really hard to come across someone who has incorrectly aimed headlights.

>>16885993
>Proved wrong
>goes straight for the memes

Classic

>>16885984
That's also not aerodynamic. They are willing to take the drag penalty for aesthetics. I'm okay with the Alfa though, since it actually looks good. The Sonic looks retarded. I recommend you take a basic mechanical engineering class if you're in college. We personally had to put every single project we did through a wind-tunnel and spend hours perfecting it. So I do in fact understand a bit about aerodynamics.

>>16886002
well at least you could have shown the drag coefficient of the 159 to prove your point.
the successor to your fiat sedan does have headlight covers. makes you think, no?

who gives a fuck about design, the new Merc lights in E and S class are far superior.

>>16886008
Not him but I think it's more about styling than aerodynamics, making the same separate headlights would probably look too much like the old model.

In the overall picture I think headlight drag is almost negligible and saying a car is a cheap piece of crap with the aero of a parachute because of that is stupid IMO

I don't even think that designing and producing separate housings is cheaper than a single sealed unit

>>16886008
Alfa 159: 0.32
Chevy Sonic: anywhere from 0.31 to 0.34 (it probably depends if it's hatchback or sedan)

Is this supposed to prove something?

The point was that, according to you, there were no cars out there with similarly styled headlights, I posted a pic of the Alfa which is also a relatively recent example.

Until you show me that the same car with sealed headlights would get a better drag coefficient I'm just going to assume you are just speculating because sometimes you thinker with wind tunnels and this somehow makes you an expert

>>16886039
That's not me. I'm the wind tunnel guy.
>>16886006

I never specified how much. I just said it was less aerodynamic. My guess is that it's about a 5-8% drag penalty. Which isn't much considering side mirrors are about 3-5%. And you're wrong about the 0.32. It's 0.325 and the Giulia is 0.32. Seeing how the front-end design is quite similar. That 0.005 drag could literally be the headlights alone. However, 0.32 is ridiculous. My Corolla is 0.28. What gives?

>>16886039
You are beyond retarded dude. Shut the fuck up so you don't make yourself look like an idiot even more. Like you don't even understand basic Physics. Your autism level is over 9000.

>>16885994
Do they not check that on yearly/bi-yearly inspections perhaps?

Yes, America did get those. I was just behind an A6 with these yesterday.

>>16886235
How to pass any inspection in Poland ever:
1. Go to an inspection
2. Find out what the problems are
3. Pull out a bottle of Vodka
4. Promise to fix problems and get on with your life
Some inspection places probably don't even give a shit. No one goes to dealerships or authorized mechanics because they can't afford that shit. Some people carry around a ton of like building equipment and shit in the back of their B5 Passat and don't even realise that they should aim the headlights down. But most people just don't give shit.

>>16886079
do you know any place where we can get a list of the drag for any car ?
i always heard the old citroen DS were amazing aero. Wondering what would be the drag of a NA miata too.

Do you think this is aerodynamically efficient?

Because it had one of the best drag coefficient of any car for that era.

Mercedes Benz is REALLY good at aerodynamics.
Their current lineup has the same drag coefficient as a Prius, which sacrificed looking halfway decent for it. Meanwhile, the Mercs look like this.

The new "Thor's Hammer" headlights on the Volvo's look really striking.

Mercedes Benz always has the most elegant/pretty looking headlights currently - Audi used to be the top dog in this department when they first started doing their LED DRL strips, but they've kind of fallen behind/into a rut. All of their current LED's look like a hot mess - like they're trying to figure out how to improve their trademark look, but they don't know how so they just keep slapping on new lines and shit.

>>16885947
Projector retrofit.

Theretrofitsource sells Acme Supers for $50/pr and you can get a cheap 35w AC H1 HID kit for $40-50.

$100 if you already have a clear lens and they'll put 99% of factory headlights to shame even on new cars.

Problem is that it wouldn't be legal here, and I kinda need them to be for the bi-yearly inspections. It would also not provide enough lighting for my taste/the driving I do

My LED-bar isn't legal either, but its a lot easier to just take off before inspections, and gives me all the light I could ever want

Also on HID; I'd need to mount headlight sprayers to prevent them from gunking up and creating glare for oncoming people
