Getting Rid of Pop Up Headlamps!

I have a 87 Accord LXi. I was driving at night with those damned gas sucking pop up headlamps. I checked my mileage when I filled up, I was losing 4 mpg with the head lights on. I realize some of it is electrical load but most of it had to be aerodynamic losses. So this is what I did, I got rid of them and put in 1996 Grand Prix lights topped off with lexan covers.
