Default C5-R Headlights

Hey all, I am going to get these headlights eventually, but I am just shopping around for the best price. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. It is kinda hard to shop for these things when the only place that has them is West Coast Corvettes.

Have you seen these in person yet? I really wanted these until I saw them on a yellow zo6 at the track yesterday. After seeing them in person I dont think that they look good. Just my opinion though.

Good luck with your search.

I ordered mine through the last group purchase but I doubt there will be another one for a while.
Check out Specter Werkes. Thats where everyone bought theirs through the group purchase.
I still have to get mine installed by them sometime soon.

And I have it on good authority that WCC WILL NOT be the only manufacture of these in the near future.

These new ones are AWESOME, especially the fit which is a MAJOR issue with the WCC's (IMO).

I dont really like the ones at C5west.com, but I did do a little more looking around and found some at madvet.com.


But they are asking $1300 as well, if anyone has a set of these that they are willing to part with (or find cheaper), let me know. Thanks

I'am new at this but I was considering buying the headlight kit to eleminate the pop ups on my 1998 Convert. but I would like input on the looks and install before I fork over $1300.

I also have some de-laminating of my front leaf spring and didn't know if this is cosmetic or I should replace it. Also if I replace it should I replace it with the optional handling spring as my car has "standard susp".

Thanks
