I'm probably too detail-oriented for my own good on some of this stuff. I noticed them right from the pilot, so I'm totally shocked I missed their absence until Ghostfacers. They were like a kind of outward sign of the car's inner abnormality.

It's totally for camouflage. Of course they removed them to make it less likely that the police might tag them. *blinks* Whatdaya mean hand-waving plot holes away? This is a perfectly legitimate explanation! ;-P

Yeah, it'll blend right in with all the other mint condition black '67 Impalas out on the road now. ;-)

Words cannot express my anger! WHAT THE HELL KIND OF REASON COULD YOU HAVE FOR REMOVING THE SPOTLIGHTS!?

Honestly, Kripke or Kim Manners are the only people who have the right to ask that they be removed. Mostly because if they would have ordered it, there'd be a damn good reason!

Totally! I mean they even had Dean put them back on when he rebuilt the Impala, why the heck take them off now? And for a guest director?

They got popped by cops/game wardens for spotlighting deer and had to take the spotlights off.

(This may or may not have happened to someone I know...)

Hm... Between roadside diners they decided to hunt up some venison steak for variety?

OH MY GOD!!!11!!1!!!

I am thoroughly disgusted and appalled that the spotlights were removed from our baby and am actually really kinda pissed that someone can just walk in and do that without even asking our permission first!!!

I am also repulsed by the fact that I DIDN'T NOTICE. Shame the fuck on me.

I heard one person ask why the hell Sam didn't use the spotlight when they finally had a good reason too and I just blew it off for some reason but no one besides you went through this much investigation as far as I know and I'm glad you did! How do we fix this?!?!

I voted transformer by the way. :)

I know! Dude! It's heinous! If it was Kripke or Kim Manners, it'd be more palatable, but it was a guy who only directed two (admittedly kickass) episodes! What the hell?!

I didn't notice at first either and I think it might be (besides Mystery Spot and Jus-in-Bello being incredibly distracting episodes(although I remember a brief 'hey where's the spotlight?) before being distracted by the psycho-Sammy in the Mystery Spot Wednesday montage) that they didn't have any decent, clear, indisputable shots of the front end of the Impala in those episodes. Not that I could find anyways. Call me paranoid, but it's like they were hiding that they'd been taken off ( ... )

I know they've already re-used Impala shots and you're totally right. It will seem kind of dumb to have them there one second and not the next.

Dean: "Sam, I can't see out of that corner of the windshiled, take off that spotlight over there while I'm driving 85mph down this stretch..."
Sam: "Uhhhhh....."
Dean: "Just shut up and do it!"

And then a few weeks later when Sam is bitching that a flashlight just won't cut it, Dean has him put the spotlights back on while he's driving 90mph down some stretch, and it's raining to boot. HAHA

I've got an image now of Sam with his head hanging out the window like a dog, only with a massive bitchface, messing with the spotlights and grumbling.
