front light design pics

Heya.

I have seen the term Cheese grater for the design of front lights.
I have yet to figure out what it means, so I am hoping some of you guys have more insight, and even better, some pics!

So, anyone with good pictures of normal front lights, cheese grater, and possibly other designs I should know of?

That is just referring to the projector headlights they have out for our cars, if you look at them, it looks like a cheese grater!

-a cheese grater
-cheese grater projectors for our w208s
-nice projectors for w210 model

i have to admit that the cheese graters do look much better in person on a vehicle than in these pictures.
