In the case of cars with pop-up (hidden until needed) headlights, they are a thing of the past due to pedestrian safety. Still, some of those cars are still out there, and pop-up headlights are cool.

Perhaps the most famous cars with pop-up headlights did not make our list, even if they are a defining feature, such as the Mazda MX-5 NA, Toyota AE86 Trueno ... with the lights opened, all ...

That's an original factory spec AE86 Trueno with a silvertop 4AGE ... actual struts holding up the rear hatch and working pop up headlights. We're in love with this lovely piece of scale art.
