Pop-up headlights are among the greatest car innovations EVER! You know we love ‘em – we wrote a hit song about them! But not all hidden headlamps are created equal. This list features the first, the last, and the most important pop-up headlights of all time. And we’ve got a big ol’ honorable mention list, too

    Thank you, James, for making the most important car related video in the history of car related vidoeos in the universe!!!!!! Pop-up headlights are the coolest thing to be included in car designs EVERRRRRRR!!!! And You will have my eternal gratitude for that.
    Also, you proved to be the COOLEST Donut presenter in the face of the universe!!!

    I like the Jaguar xj220 and I play it in horizon 4 a lot, really wish that I could own one.



  6. Dank Bud on May 5, 2023 at 8:50 pm

    I do wish you would have showed how the C4 had the cool flip up headlights but I was stoked to see the corvette make the first spot. Definitely subbing



  7. psedog on May 5, 2023 at 8:50 pm

    Say Nissan correctly. Stop saying it like Jeremy Clarkson.
    It’s Japanese. It’s Knee San (like sun, but with an ah).



  8. corey couture on May 5, 2023 at 8:53 pm

    The C2 is the most beautiful car with pop-up headlights



  9. Perry Williams on May 5, 2023 at 8:53 pm

    1987 Honda Accord LXI



  10. Riley PinkP on May 5, 2023 at 8:53 pm

    I would have put the Mitsubishi 300gt as number one. My mom has one and the pop up headlights are iconic. She has it in dark green.



  11. Phil Night on May 5, 2023 at 8:55 pm

    1:39 probably my favorite was my 89 two-door manual transmission with the V6 I can’t remember the trim level but that was a fast car for being just a stock Honda without VTEC.



  12. nobody on May 5, 2023 at 8:56 pm

    Man, where is the Acura/Honda nsx? One of the best and beautiful cars ever!



  13. Luca Winkelhaus on May 5, 2023 at 8:56 pm

    15:36 while using subtitles YouTube said (self across talking gibberish) 😂



  15. PMR on May 5, 2023 at 8:57 pm

    Call me totally forgot the entire Lotus lineup. The Lotus esprits there is nothing sexier than a White Lotus esprits at nighttime pulling up to a restaurant with the lights up.



  16. Rainer ausdemSpring on May 5, 2023 at 9:00 pm

    I have a 31 years old RX7 FD. I’ll drive it until one of us dies.



  17. Mika on May 5, 2023 at 9:04 pm

    1.Corvette c4 – 270° roll!!!
    2.Corvette c2!
    3.Lambo Diablo!

    MR2, Lotus Elan, TR7?



  19. Mshari Khalid on May 5, 2023 at 9:08 pm

    Where’s my Z31 Nissan 300zx 🙁



  20. Aaron Lee Marais on May 5, 2023 at 9:09 pm

    The AE86 never had popups, only the Sprinter (same everything else) had the popups



  21. WhiteCavendish on May 5, 2023 at 9:09 pm

    When you revealed the picture of the best pop up headlight car, I legit yelled out "CORVETTE, YES!" And slammed my desk triumphantly. 1964 Corvette Stingray split window coupe is THE sexiest car EVER. Thanks for this sweet little journey of enjoying them sweet pop up headlights.



  22. abhay bhandary on May 5, 2023 at 9:11 pm

    Can’t believe the Honda NSX is not here!!!



  23. Am6in3 AmGinE on May 5, 2023 at 9:11 pm

    My personal favorite which is not on your list is the (1967 thru 1970) Camaro!!!! It didn’t actually have pop up and down headlights but it did have hidden headlights (PERIOD)



  24. Javartan on May 5, 2023 at 9:13 pm

    Where is the host after 2 years though? flashback ? 🤣



  25. Richard Kmoch on May 5, 2023 at 9:14 pm

    The Starion is my dream car, too bad you basically can’t get them in Europe



  26. Mert06xx1 on May 5, 2023 at 9:16 pm

    180sx popups better than all



  27. gabriel clutter on May 5, 2023 at 9:17 pm

    I like it when you use the microphone with the foam topper better.



  28. Gluten Free Beer Brian on May 5, 2023 at 9:19 pm

  31. Gluten Free Beer Brian on May 5, 2023 at 9:20 pm

    An RX7 without POP UP AND DOWN HEADLIGHTS…. Is just lame….



  32. Nathaniel Torbett on May 5, 2023 at 9:21 pm

    How did the Cizeta V16T with two rows of pop up headlights not make this list?



  33. Noah Min on May 5, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    Shout out to the video editors 😂



  34. tinton3w on May 5, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    This list is useless without the Cizeta V16t. 2 sets of pop ups per side. Or the 02 trans am with its unique bulb design



  35. Gaming BGM on May 5, 2023 at 9:25 pm

    I love it so much



  36. Groovy Gringo on May 5, 2023 at 9:25 pm

    Dude you forgot about the probe GT



  37. Phil Night on May 5, 2023 at 9:27 pm

    I was lucky enough to own three cars with pop-up headlights, late 80s Honda accords, with manual transmissions also God I miss those cars! I feel so stupid that I got rid of them.



  38. Noah Rodríguez on May 5, 2023 at 9:27 pm

    Me waiting for the 512 testarossa…



  39. gliding_metal on May 5, 2023 at 9:28 pm

    You didn’t add the cutest car to the list: the Miata! ❤️



  40. patrick Elfstrøm on May 5, 2023 at 9:29 pm

    Mazda 323f bg 1.8 gt dohc

    Not gonna lie, love that feature on my GTA!



  48. TOXIC SHOT on May 5, 2023 at 9:41 pm

    Sooooo happy to see corvette win this one.



  49. H&M Science on May 5, 2023 at 9:42 pm

    I saw a Pontiac fire from breaking bad and since then I have been consumed, I NEED a car with pop up headlights. I did hear that Pontiacs weren’t that reliable as a car



  50. Mje xx on May 5, 2023 at 9:43 pm

    BMW 8 series FTW
