DECORATIVE FINS AND HONEYCOB TEXTURE
Yoshi incorporated fins and a honeycomb motif to enrich the lower housing areas without interfering with the horizontal DRL elements. These design characteristics echo established European styling conventions adopted by Porsche and others.

Certain shapes, surfaces, and textures in the Morimoto Nissan 370z XRGB headlight reflect classic European sports-car lighting aesthetics, including design cues historically seen on Porsche vehicles among others.
FLOATING SIDE REFLECTOR
Early prototypes had side reflectors that obscured the DRL flow. By re-engineering it as a floating component, the final version achieved a cleaner, more elegant look.
PERFORMACE THROUGH PRECISION
Morimoto is known for combining style and substance - and the new 370Z headlight is no exception.
Optical Innovation
