Installed these last night so cool and only around 16.50 Including shipping from amazon. I did have to extend the wiring to reach the foot well light to plug into power but very easy install.

A pretty neat effect when you open the door at night.

I have a set I bought about 5 years ago. Still in the box. I even had a custom logo with a purple flag made for them. Just couldn't bring myself to drill the hole they need in my door.

They do add the saw but saw quality is poor. It came apart from the bit after one use.

Since it is in the bottom of door you never see it. If you ever decided for some reason on removing it you could always install a rubber plug.

I was impressed I could see them on the garage floor even with the lights on in the garage.

I purchased a set from Amazon for the C5, but they just came in for the C6. Now I don't see the C5's offered?

When did you get them, I don't see the C5's other than the older version that doesn't look as good

I have put 2 sets of these lights on my wife's CTS. They look awesome when they are fresh, but they will slowly fade away. There is an insert that goes in the housing that makes the logo, and it fades away after use. I wish they sold replacement logo inserts. I would be all over them. I also didn't want to drill into the door itself, so I drilled into the plastic housing for the light that was already there. I would use the rubber plug on the C5 if I were installing them.

Post back what they look like in 6 months. I put what looks like the exact same ones in my Vette toward the end of last summer. The looked great at first were real sharp and the colors were all vibrant. FF six months or so and they now look terrible very flat colors, almost just black and white and very soft edges. I also paid about what you did for them. I would pay more but how do you know your not just buying the cheap crappy ones at a high price.

This is neat what are you guys putting them on the bottom of the door soot shines on the ground when you open it.
