Default C5 R styled headlight
The headlights cause quit a bit o drag, and I was wondering if anyone knew where to get a headlight kit that replaces the center emblem like in the c5-r cars. any suggestions?

I did not realize those were headlights. I thought they were just fog lights. Can you drive at night with just those center lights?

I think he means the ones that replace the popups. The headlights stay fixed in the hood with a clear lens covering them up.

Here they are, Corvette Central part #444317, just for you, today only
$999.00
