A method of mounting a headlight fixture in a vehicle hood, the method comprising: molding a vehicle hood with an open cavity therein, the open cavity defined by an overhang and an under-hang in the vehicle hood, the molded vehicle hood further comprising a headlight-mounting flange member extending substantially vertically down from an inside surface of the vehicle hood; providing at least a first headlight and a flexible, semi-rigid reflective material having at least a first hole; installing the at least first headlight to the headlight-mounting flange member such that the at least first headlight extends into the open cavity; inserting the reflective material into the open cavity of the hood such that the at least first hole receives the at least first headlight; and folding the reflective material such that a first end of the reflective material attaches to the headlight-mounting flange and an opposite end of the reflective material attaches to the under-hang of the vehicle hood to form a curved surface positioned to reflect light from the at least first headlight out of the open cavity.
