Earl considered it his laboratory on wheels and drove the car routinely for years. Though the Y-Job had many forward thinking features, the hidden headlights added a futuristic and sleek look to the one-of-a-kind convertible. The lights were covered with horizontally split circular lids that opened up and down like human eyelids; they opened whenever the lights were switched on.

To the left is a picture of the exposed headlights. I initially thought they rolled on a horizontal axis but, from what I could find, there are horizontally-split doors. They separate and pull back, then the headlight moves forward, looking as if it was fastened there all along.
