Never heard of that. The fog light cutoff looks like a bird when looking at them though

Not against a wall but on the ground behind the car. Turn on the hazards and look at the ground behind the car. You'll see the Pontiac Arrowhead on the ground. It only works with standard incandescent bulbs. It doesn't work if you replace them with LEDs.

You actually made me go outside and check

Well I'll be damned, you can clearly see the Pontiac logo on the ground. Nice little Easter egg from GM

Sadly I don't have a T/A anymore to go see for myself

I actually lol'd when I read the first post, the whole thing sounds a little ridiculous. Even if true

I remember reading about it in a thread many years ago. Tried it for myself back then.
I seriously doubt it was ever intentional. The lights just happen to overlap and create a "V" shape.
Since "V" looks like a Pontiac crest/arrow head, I guess overzealous Firebird owner's got excited.

I actually checked it out last night after I seen this thread. It does just look like a "V" but something cool to check out I guess
