Daytime driving lights
I like how bright the C5's DAYTIME driving lights. Has anyone modified their C4's driving lights to shine like the C5's? Could I just buy a C5 BULB and pop it into my C4??

The C-5 uses the HID bulb you can buy them $ 599.00 if it is worth that much to you. :rolleyes:
And I thought parts for the LT5 were expensive.

Re: Daytime driving lights (BiZ)
The C5 daytime driving lights are the front parking lights turned on to the high side. A lot of GM cars have them hooked up that way. I think it was Ecklers that I saw the daytime kit in. I can't remember the exact price though. I'm thinking it was $199 for the conversion kit.

Re: Daytime driving lights (BiZ)
They don't use anything special, just the parking/directional lamps with both filiments lit. The module that controls it (for the C4's) also controls the auto-headlights (that are way too sensitive anyway). I have an export car, so all of this stuff is already in the car. Honestly, I like the way to amber DRL's look but I wouldn't spend $200 to add it. :cheers:

I was thinking about the headlights if you look at J C Whitney catalog #673-04
on page 5 headlight conversion to hid like what the c-5 has low beam only $ 599.00 high & low beam $ 749.95 I have my C-4 coverted from sealed beam to H-4 Xenon bulbs they are 130 watts and very white not the yellow look from the 55 watt sealed beam that is standard in the C-4
