On cars like the new Micra they are some way back.

The frog-eye Sprite was so designed IIRC because of a minimum rule re
headlight height


Not at all sure they are any further back from the front of a Micra
than, for example, on my old Saab. However, I am assuming that the rules
include the full depth of the bumper which was significant on the Saab
and not very on a Micra.

I had a feeling that a Jaguar or a Citroen might have had the greatest
distance. So I went to have a look on Google image search for Citroen
and found this example from one of their concept cars:

On the same page, I also noticed this - which made me smile. (You might
want to be careful where you are and who you are with if/when you look
at this.):
