Yeah, everyone knows they're temps, but why that config, why 3? not one? or 2? or 4?
It's like they're toying with ideas...

They just put random lights together into a pod so that they can drive it on the street.
Its not testing anything, this isnt Area 51, its a friggin Camaro.
Its just there to act as a placeholder...nothing more.



Ahhhh ef it...yeah, they are testing out revolving headlights. Like the old TV Camera's that had multiple lenses that can be rotated, the Camaro will have that. You can focus light on an area, or open it up really wide!! Its brand new technology!!!

They literally go down to AutoZone and buy whatever they can glue in there. It is ONLY so that they can drive the cars at night.



Nothing more, nothing less. We have this direct from Scott.

Actually, I heard that it will have stickers instead of standard headlights so it can be ready for NASCAR

Wow, Some inteligent thoughts in an otherwise worthless thread...

Give it up on the headlights...

I'm just bracing myself for the threads starting "GM changed the headlights becuase of the lash back from enthusiasts" instead of the real story that they where never a consideration to begin with...

And if you look closely to any Malibu test mules pics...these look awfully similar. They are stock pieces that just get trimmed to fit into whatever car they're testing.

Please God, let this topic die..........

WHY DIDN'T THEY GLUE IN ONLY ONE LIGHT PER SIDE???
OK, TWO?...





I think I might've figured out, looking at the Enclave..
Time will tell........

3 light's = 1 low beam (same as foglight on these cars) 1 high beam and 1 turn signal.

Why use them on the pre-pro cars? Maybe the production lights are not completed. There could be more than one supplier to wait on or GM made some changes that have taken longer to get completed.

OR the lights are done and GM doesn't need to test them on the mules when it can do so behind closed doors at Milford or other GM locations. Leave something new for the production car.

Doesn't make sense...

Why are the REAL headlights taking soooo long to show up on a test mule? Don't they have to test them too? Why the delay? You would think at least ONE car would have a set of the real production headlights for testing.

I personally can't stand the 4 headlights on the mules. The whole character of the car depends on those two large headlights. I can live without the halo's, at least maybe have an option for them, but switch to 4 headlights? That would be the dumbest move I've seen yet.
