Hide-Away Headlights?
When are they going to offer Hide-Away headlights on the Camaro?

Would be cool, but to many moving parts....why do you think they dumped the flip lights on Vettes? Less stuff to break and more cost effective.

sort of. one of the big issues they had in the past were the actuators would go out and they ended up making the slits in the covers so that if the lids didnt open, the lights would still shine thru to provide enough light at night.

I dont foresee GM putting hideaways on the new camaro, as said before, the aftermarket will take care of that for us. one of the big name motorsport companies has already given us a photoshop of the hideaways that they plan on incorporating into their camaro builds.

Actually GM ditched the flip up lights on the vette because federal regulations make them illegal now due to pedestrian safety laws.

Really? The last I heard, it's about European laws. Interesting.
