You thoughts on the new headlight trends...

Seems like designers are starting to sweep the headlight assemblies more and more up toward the driver.... seems like even the new CLS65 has part of the assembly sweeping way up the front fender....

Guess it will grow on me....what's your thought?

Yeah, CLS guys were talking bout it....looks like it's go. Check out their forum.

The Benz assembly is not as bad as the M5....

Hey, could this be in the works.

I hate it, it ruins the CLS for me currently, the area where the fender and hood meet the headlight is normally one of my favorite parts on a car as far as the lines go. Look at examples like a Ferrari 360 or an Aston Martin DB9 and you'll see that the headlights look agressive and are styled toward the driver, but they dont make this funky L shape. Im hoping this trend goes the way of those wierd black plasic rear window covers put on camaros in the 80s.

Sorry if I sound ignorant, but don't all CLS models have those headlights?

I love the CLS headlights, the car looks really aggressive and its mostly due to those swept lights. That and the AMG bumper for the 55.

Yes I was also confused when i read this. Sorry to state the obvious but it's not as if the CLS 65 has different headlights to the 55, 500 or 350...

Maybe I'm missing something?
