Default Is there a headlight conversion kit?

To replace the stock pop up headlights and to convert to something similar to C6? A search didn't turn up much so I thought I'd ask.

several of the vendors listed on the left side offer the conversion kits. Lots of folks here have them and I'm sure they'll chime in..

Yup, check out westcoastcorvette.com, they have a few to choose from.
Too much $$$ for my taste though.

Do a search for MRAY....He's working on a DOT approved lighting kit using HID's. These would retain the popups. You might also search for C5R lights. I'm waiting and saving my monies for MRAY's conversion. He's doing it the right way and the wait will be worth it.

Finally found the C5R Specter Werkes headlight conversion kit here.

The price (C5R Racing Headlamp Module - $1295.00) is pretty steep but they do look great.

And the Exposed Headlamp Module for the same price is nice as well.
