Hi Lauren,
you are so right with the headlights, with the Avante it is even worse the recess is even tighter and the flap still covers a small section of the light when open. I have only driven the car once in the dark and ill not be doing it again in a hurry. I agree with you on the pop ups but for me I would rather have the ability to drive in the dark with more confidence so that will be the way I go when I do my next Nova. Perhaps another thought might be the way Kdnova went with his projection lights although we never heard how they performed.
