Wow on the Sonata and M400, and the Passat tails.

And i always thought the Diablo's headlights look similar to the 300ZX, didn't know they ARE the same.

cool on the McLaren / Corrado.

I'm skeptical on the Diablo / 300ZX. Sure they look similar - but is there proof that they are the same?

Someone in the local autox club has a Noble M400. It's freakin sweet, especially hearing the blow off valve, and the Sonata tails don't look too bad

Pretty cool thread. Wish there was a little more variety. I'm sure that some "normal" cars share other parts with more exotic cars. With the exception of a few, they were all light related.

They are the same lights. Made by Nismo and licensed to Lambo. If you look at the Lamborghini wiki there's a brief mention of this there too.

Close up pics of both lights:
