don't have any, but built my own.

They appear to be a real bi-xenon setup with the "flapper" inside for the high/low operation.

I built mine out of Morimoto FX-R's and some ebay housings with glass lenses. Love them, they throw all kinds of light.

Really? You couldn't put more effort into your "For Sale" sign?

Brand: CrazyTheGod

I'd need to know more about who makes it. You must be crazy to think I would just buy it.

Why would I buy that instead of LED? Because I want something more heavy and cumbersome?

They're in Taiwan and the ad does say "Corvette C4". The picture does appear to be that of a H6054 size bulb. Probably got their year range description from the Pep Boys website.

No, I never got around to it. I posted some pictures and whatnot on Facebook a few years ago, I will try to dig them up.

There's nothing special about the c4 housings. They are 5x7 housings. For $220, I would look into one of the higher end LED headlights. With the way c4 headlights flip, less moving parts (the projector) is better IMO. Plus then you don' have to deal with the warm up delay, etc.
