yep, they are euro headlights. The slot under the projectors resembles a "smile" therefore they are called smilies.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smiley

A smiley, smiley face, happy face, or :) is a stylized representation of a smiling humanoid face, commonly occurring in popular culture. It is commonly represented as a yellow (many other colors are also used) circle (or sphere) with two black dots representing eyes and a black arc representing the mouth. "Smiley" is also sometimes used as a generic term for any emoticon :)
The variant spelling "smilie" is not as common, but the plural form "smilies" is commonly used.

it's difficult not to "flame" you, when a thread is created just for that kind of question. And if even worse when you tell us not to. We do it anyway. So no worries.

I know this is an old thread bump, but I have been looking around and cant figure it out - what are the slots for? Why didn't USDM cars come with them too?
