When are we going to get C7 style non-pop up HID/xenon-like lights?
With the all time running LED strip being the best part, for a reasonable price, now that would

it would look good as long as they could make the light housing flow with the lines of the C5.

A seriously doubt that vendors are going to spend the R&D to develop a C7-like light housing for the C5. I don't think the market is large enough. You may be able to retro-fit a current fixed headlight design with the C7 technology if you're really into that type of thing.
To me, putting non pop-up lights on a C5 is like putting pop-up lights on the C7. I respect the pop up design as the C5 will probably be the last generation Corvette to have them! Plus, nothing looks more stealth than no exposed lights. A look that black C5s pull off exceptionally well.
