what's there to not understand?

you can save tons of money by buying oem parts and use them in your project and that's what they did with the lights.

Mclaren did the same with the F1

Because why waste ass that time, money, and resources to a couple of tail lights can be DOT approved when you can buy ones that already meet those standards from a bus company?

they would have done some round lamps anyways, the whole process of arranging the tooling was unnecessary when the perfectly sized bus lamps were already there

wtf i hate newfags who pretend to be old now

Those brakelights are a royal pain to replace too. God it sucked after my brother rolled on some ice in the driveway (hill driveway). Finding a replacement sucked initially, was trying to go cheap from a junk yard. So taking two off basically sucked.

My Focus has the same mirrors as an Explorer. They almost seem too big, but I can't complain about zero blind spots.

You don't even have to take them out, they have a carbon fiber wrap that just covers the Nissan stampings at the top of the lights.

I seriously hope you're joking.

all old cars look the same

>>17085363
This, until postwar cars started coming out. 30s and earlier cars all look exactly the same.

I can see what you mean about old cars though, part of that is because the US has hilariously archaic headlight laws. 2 big round sealed beams required after 1940, then in 1958 4 smaller round sealed beams, then in 1984 they FINALLY fucking legalized flush non-sealed beams like the rest of the world had had since the early 70s. Everything HAD to look exactly the same because it was required by law.

We're still behind even now though, since German manufacturers have adaptive headlights that will move the beam away from oncoming cars and turn the highs off and on automatically as well, but we can't have it because our headlight laws were made before computers were a thing.

Almost as if super/kit/boutique car manufacturers don't want to spend any budget on boring shit like switches and lights, so they just use something that already exists.

That wasn't a requirement, it was just something that was allowed. Previously cars had to have two headlights, starting in '58 (although one or two cars already had it in '57, like the midside Chrysler sedans) they were allowed to have four headlights and everybody immediately jumped on board for the next few decades because it looked better with the flat, wide designs of the cars.

If cars were required to have four headlights, the Beetle would have never been able to be sold here, which it obviously was and in droves at that.

>>17087417
Lots of domestic cars were still made with two headlights as well- it wasn't "every single car has quad lights because that's what the law wants up until 1984." Quad headlights were almost exclusively on the massive full-size sedans and square-nosed muscle cars of the era.
