Help us out: Find pictures of Headlights and Tail Lights

So now we have a good process for modeling and using headlights and taillights.

I can model headlights very quickly, but I’ve got a limited amount of ideas for headlights to replicate!

Post a bunch of photos of interesting different headlights and tail lights from 1946 to current and give us some more ideas! :smiley:

Probably easiest? :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve started collecting some, dividing them to decades. I hope these give you some ideas! :slight_smile:

That’s excellent RedRiot, More of that!

I like the way all 1950s headlights are very close to the same however!

i hope no one minds, i’ll do the same context as that for the 90’s?

Hell, the more pictures we get the better, go for it! :slight_smile:

i’m doing this now, and god the 50’s and 60’s looked more interesting in car design!

Car design, possibly, but you have to admit, the 2000s have some of the most interesting headlights you’ve ever seen :stuck_out_tongue:

Good work with all those reference pics everyone.

Got a question myself. Will pop-up headlights be implented?

Here are the lights on my '65 Chevrolet Corvair, sold from '65 to '69

http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/3421/dsc02089hc.jpg

And the early model Corvair, sold from '60 to '64

The tail light lenses changed almost every year for the early models, and '65 was the only year for the lenses on mine, and the 66-69 were the same.

Awesome looking Corvair!

Anyone got any good 1990s. 2000s and 2010s headlights?

I’ll see if i can dig something up.

I’ll try to collect some typical and some interesting ones too on the weekend.
