Complex UV Layout in Maya
Over the last couple of years UV layout in Maya has changed for the better. In this course we're going to be taking a look at some of those changes as we UV map an entire character

try using a poly plane beginning at the lower right corner (looking at it from the front) and extrude edges along the outline of the base of the light housing. after you have the basic curvature start extruding edges up and scaling in to match the vertical curve of the lights. you will most definitely need to rearrange vertices to more closely match the topology of the light housing. but this is a good method for this particular object. good luck.

ROFL, hey I just watched that movie yesterday (late I know, but I like bad movies and I just got around to it so sue me lol) that line had me freakin' choking on my Nerds. It was terrible but it was entertaining.

Anyways, the modeling is looking good. And about the headlight casing (I'm not car modeler like you guys :x but tools are tools) if you're doing it from scratch and not snipping it off the immediate geo, then I think re-using a low res lattice would work and it'll help you avoid getting lumps.

Pics look great! you should post an .ma though since not everyone is using the same version of Maya that you are.
Me for example(8.5), or don't I?

When in doubt, delete history and freeze transformations.
