OK, help me out here
 
I feel a bit embarassed by asking these, but I need to know...

http://a332.g.akamai.net/f/332/936/1...ontext.500.jpg

What exactly are those 6 little lights that surround the high-beam headlight (I assume it's the high beam headlight...). Are those strictly for looks or are they supposed to serve some kind of purpose?

Also... are the fog lights integrated with the front turn signal lamps? Or is that what those 6 little lights are supposed to be?

Someone knowledgable please inform. :eek:

i'd have to check it out for you, since i always just turn all the lights on when displayed on a turntable, the lower lights are the turn signal, give me a day or two to get back there and check it out for you.

It's going to be a "Summer of '08" for me!
That front end is absolutely beautiful.

Just my guess, but I would assume they are some sort of LED projectors to enhance the highbeam.
The last run of Infiniti Q45's had LED headlights and looked somewhat similar.

Those are Led's as 08plumbcrazy stated, but i highly doubt they will make it to production.

Please dont consider them fog lights, mopar fanatics like to call them road lamps..

I read somewhere its supposed to look like 'looking down the barrell of a 6 shooter revolver' I guess the way the gauge cluster is supposed to look like 'looking down at exposed cylinder heads'. This is to further enhance the effect of the shift knob that used to be wood pistol(revolver-like) in older challenger that is now like a 'glock' type look(retro to modern). Hope they keep all 3!!!!

Yes all of the original articles referred to the as 6 shooter revolvers and the gauges as looking at the tops of pistons.

I think some of the original video had the designers talking about this look they were trying to convey as well.

OK, I got the 6-shooter revolver idea... but again... what are they for? Are they strictly for looks? Are they Dodge's idea of daytime running lights? Don't get me wrong, I think they're ultra-cool... but so far no one has been able to tell me what their actual purpose is (if they even have an actual purpose, other than for looks)

Anyone..? Anyone..?

Mopar version of the Angel Eyes on a BMW?

probably just cosmetic, similar to the BMW angel eyes. Hard to imagine 6 tiny little lights showing you anything the big guy in the middle didn't already light up. They sure look nifty though. If I were a gambling man, I'd bet they don't see production.
