Ok, so 'frenched' refers to yellow inner beams?? I'm sorry for the newbie post... Never heard the term before. Cars all look great though!
Didnt know what frenched meant until I saw the pic of the citreon.
Old french cars have yellow headlights... what else would it mean?

no need to call me a dummy after you complimented my car. :confused
"Frenched" lights come from the aftermath of World War 1. Before the construction of the giant waste of money known as the Maginot Line, the French government in their associated paranoia required all French registered vehicles to be equipped with lights of a yellow hue. In their logic, if the Germans tried to cross the border in their vehicles equipped with white colored lamps it would be easy to tell. It didn't quite work as well as they thought (kinda like the Maginot). The law was not changed until 1993 when France joined the European Union, and since then no production cars are equipped with yellow lamps as a standard item.
Race cars use yellow lamps not because of a supposed belief yellow inherently is a low glare color, but because our human brain processes it as such.
Frenched means yellow lights
