Default Headlight question(not typical)

I know theres the non pop up headlight conversion but is there one that makes it like a c5 style. what i mean is where it just comes up and doesnt do a full rotation how it does now.

i dunno just the whole complete rotation thing and how they look up (to me look kinda funny with the bubble shape) would like the flat part to be on top. just wondering how it would look.

didnt see anything on breathless.

Sorry, I am in the hospital right now and do not have access to all my files. They make a clear lense and headlight setup for the C4 that is stationary.
I will be back home tomorrow and try to find the pic I have of their yellow C4 demonstrator.

Well, this was really quick and I couldn't find any good side shots of the headlights open on a C4, but here you go... Flat top with a lip (where there should be over hang for the bezel).

I'll take a pic of your headlights tonight and a pic of Tango's lights open and do a better chop. This is just me using the smug tool.


BTW, no idea who's car this is... So, if it's someone's on this board, sorry! LOL

im NOT looking for the stationary lights. ive seen plenty of those and im not really a big fan of them.

ok mine goes like this (does a full rotation until the headlights are open)



i was wondering if anyone made some that open like the c5's (just flip up without the whole rotation)
