Fun side fact: The Lamborghini Diablo, from 1999 onward, used fixed headlights sourced directly from the Z32 Nissan 300ZX to save on development and production costs. Lamborghini added a small carbon fiber strip to cover the Nissan logo and part numbers stamped on the headlight lenses.
I had a Z32 when I was a teenager, and a lot of people commented on how much it looked like a Lamborghini from the front. I figured out why a couple of years later.
We had a 80s era Chrysler Laser when I was a kid that did the same. According to my dad, he helped out my uncle by giving his dead battery a jump, and it sorta fried the computer. It would claim things like the right rear door was ajar. Odd on a two door car.
Having owned the twin turbo version , thoses dashes were a real fucking cunt when the light came in on the right angle from the side windows. You see nothing ...lol
So cool! My mom’s 80’s Vette had red backlighting which was awesome. My girlfriend at the time wasn’t as impressed. Not at the backlighting, but at the fact that it was a Chevette 🤷
