Cars which share the same headlights?

[StreetHawk555]

The taillights on the first gen Dodge Durango were used from the 3rd gen Chrysler minivans.

When Ladas where sold in Canada, the Niva Pickup's taillights were taken straight from the Chevy Astro/GMC Safari.

Slight correction here, it used the MK2 Scirocco tails.

 

[Silver Arrows]

No mention of the most famous one yet?

The Zonda shares it's lights with the Ford Think and the Lamborghini Diablo VT:

Same as the Saleen S7

Koenigsegg CCX has the same reflectors/reverse lamps as an FD RX7.

 

[All Your Base]

The Nissan R390 GT1 shares it's taillights with the Fiat Coupe.

If you look closely, you can even see Fiat branding on one of the R390's taillights.

I'm surprised Nissan didn't take something out of their own parts bin. It's not as if they didn't have literally hundreds of designs to choose from.

Literally the first page

 

[Silver Arrows]

Literally the first page

I didn't see the first page.

 

[TexRex]

Literally the first page

I mean...it was kind of mentioned in triplicate on the first page, with two references to the other thread, in which the use is brought up at least once (no fewer than three times, in fact).



You could be real asinine about it and suggest that it'd been mentioned seven times minimum, if you multiply the three instances in the other thread by the two references to that thread on the first page of this one, in addition to the direct mention to which you referred.

Yeeeeaaahh...I need to get some sleep.

I believe alot of people´s favourite cars could get "ruined" with these photos but keep them coming.

Aston Martin DB7 and of all things a Madza 323F!

*obligatory Virage/Scirocco post*

 

[motortrend]

Not sure if this counts

 

[MisterWaffles]

Probably isn't surprising to anyone but I wanted to present something a little more high-end and modern that cheap British supercars.

Ferrari themselves are not afraid of delving into the OEM parts bin, even for their multi million-dollar hypercars.

599 GTB:

LaFerrari:

That means LaFerrari Apertas produced in 2017 were using decade-old taillights during their production run. Now if I was a LaFerrari owner and could do whatever I wanted, I'd see about swapping the taillights with those of the 488 GTB instead.

 

[Heldenzeit]

I don't believe that's totally accurate. The center clear light has a lip protruding on the LaF that the 599 doesn't.

 

[TexRex]

The latter's lens body also appears to taper more than the former's, though that could be an optical illusion.

 

[Populuxe]

Here's a good close up of the LaFerrari's tail light.

Yeah I thought I'd seen those lights on a Saleen.

 

[FT-1]

Okay, so this has nothing to do with lights, but it fits in with the "sharing parts" theme:

 

[Populuxe]

I'm not 100% sure on this one, but it sure looks like the front fender turn signals on both the NSU Prinz I and the BMW 700 RS come from the same parts bin.

1961 BMW 700 RS

MG R-V8 uses the headlights from

Porsche 964

The Caterham 7 uses the rear lights from

The Hillman Hunter

They really should have found something better by now.

I think Caterham works by the whole "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" philosophy with regard to those taillights.

 

[TheCracker]

I think Caterham works by the whole "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" philosophy with regard to those taillights.

The Lotus 7 had them when the Hillman Hunter was a contemporary car. Caterhams are just a continuation so, like you say, why change ‘em.

 

[Disco_Volante]

I'm glad no one else posted this one

The modern Alfa Romeo Disco Volante shares its headlights with the Ferrari 599.

Also the new Noble M500 uses the Corvette C7's headlights.

Ford GT40 MK II & IV

Chevrolet Corvair

I'd seen this image begore.

I highly doubt those details are accurate, though. They seem pretty implausible. I suspect Shelby just had random stuff on hand at that point from when he messed around with Corvairs at the beginning of the decade.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Not sure if this counts for this thread, but I imagine plenty of us have seen recreational vehicles using passenger car lights. I wish I had photos, but I've seen a couple amusing ones. Most of them have headlights/taillights off of trucks or vans (like the Ford E-Series or Chevrolet Express), however, I've seen ones with 2004 Toyota Camry taillights turned sideways and upside down Chevrolet Impala headlights on some.

 

[StreetHawk555]

The Ford Excursion recycled the tailights from the 1992-2014 E-series vans.

Quick mention, take a look at the taillights at this Winnebago Rialta & take a wild guess where they were taken from.

Can you think of any other RVs that borrow lights that are from commonly seen cars & trucks?

I thought this one was amusing when I saw it at Watkins last year:
