I think ugly and nice is relative.
I prefer rectangular USA headlight than Euro one because since 1981 here in
Indonesia 505 comes with Euro headlight, probably I was bored looking at
Euro headlight. I replaced my Euro headlight with rectangular USA one
although it is hard to find them in Indonesia. Many people here were asking
me where to find them.
This is just my thought.
