According to this Youtuber, it is true as he can show us how Lamborghini used the headlights of the Nissan 300ZX for its facelifted Diablo in 1999.

 

Back then, Lamborghini was believed to have used the 300ZX's headlights as it was much easier than engineering their own part and getting the necessary type approval for the lights. For those who don't remember, the pre-facelifted Diablo used a pop-up headlight system which was deemed too old school and hurt the drag coefficient of the car.

 

Watch the video and see how Lamborghini managed to hide the 'Nissan' words on the headlights for its Diablo.

    I discussed the possibility of living in tiny houses in Singapore in an earlier blog post. But as we know, it isn't an option to begin with – no thanks, of course, to our lack of land space.  Someone also pointed out that the idea of tiny houses is "romanticised" – which, I don't deny (but hey, that's why it's a dream). While it's clear tiny houses aren't going to work out here, the concept of 'tiny living' is; not just physically but also mentally. Anyone who has lived enough years lo
