If just wanting better illumination consider Hella "E" code lights in the stock housings.

Hi Rod! If anyone is interested in building their own fixed head light setup there is a good selection that can be found on rallylights home page. I would like to ditch the stock lights to save a few pounds off the nose. I just dont know what light will mount and adjust easy in a fabbed setup.

This does look much better, but takes away from the style of the car. The c4 along with the miata are of the few cars that look good with the pop-ups, suits them well... this setup looks like someone may be trying to convert their vette into an RX7

I wouldn't even consider $1250 headlights an "option".

Abomination, yes.

I installed the Hella's on my car

and I am very happy with them.
If you are looking for function this is the way to go.
Purchased them thru Ecklers.
I also painted the covers black so they do not stand out as much when the hood is open and look different when they are up.
