I've heard like 20lbs, but I never weighed them at all. I got mine for looks only.

Yep, these things are unimpressive when they come out of the box. But once installed and painted they are gorgeous

Man! I really love those lights and would like to have them on my Vette but just cannot justify spending that kind of cake for them. Maybe after I've bought all the other mods I want. Heh!

Good luck with the install.

I love the Specterwerkes headlights. But from I've read on the Forum, it is all in the prep work to make them look good. They still are the best looking fixed headlight for C5's.

Those are the worst thing you can do to you car! Stay away from those ... send those to me as fast as you can and avoid the embarrassment! I can take the ridicule for you as a fellow Angelino!

They're OK, but I'd much rather be running a custom C6 headlight assembly made for the C5...here's pics of mine anyway. If you're going to go through the pain of owning and living with C5R headlights, make sure to get the HID's somehow to make it worth your while.

EFI - you don't sound like you're very happy with your lights, i'll offer to take these crappy lights off your hands so you can upgrade to C6 assemblies. I'll even let you pay for shipping.
