Headlight placement

May 31, 2004 4 Replies

Why are Saturn headlights placed nearer to the car centerline rather than in the conventional location (i.e., spanning the width of the car)?


are you refering to the old SL style or the new ION style? The SL was IMHO too close together (TG for Xenon and Silverstars) but the ION is actually at the corners of the car like other cars.

Just designers choice. Take a look at the Olds Aurora.

Like I said, try out some 55w (oem wattage only) Sylvania Silverstar or Xenon (Streeglow is good) headlight bulbs, it will make all the difference in the world. Alternately, you can also put on aftermarket foglights.
