Just an update---and I will update my other two threads as well...
I have a complete set of C5 headlights to work with (thanks to a forum member) and they will be dropped off for preliminary design work on Friday. I have two modules needed for proper sizing and mounting. Once we have an idea of the time required to build and expense, then I will build a prototype set and have a cost.

Just a quick update. We have finished our prior project and are beginning to focus the c5. We are still waiting delivery info on the projectors in the USA.
Here some pictures of our product for the SS/Caprice. Just an indication of what we can do-

Looks quite impressive. However, when will it be available? And, what will be the retail cost? How easy are the bulbs, etc., to replace and service? Where are these headlamp assemblies made? Thank you for your interest in helping to make available a better C5 lighting system.

What's the difference between these and the kit you are offering as far as the high beam is concerned? Also, I am planning to get my kit installed on Friday (at last) when I am off and the weather is expected to be mild. Have you finalized the installation instructions?
Thanks
Thanks

Bubls are easier to replace than what you have now and are common. The headlamps are made in the USA (Seattle) optics are from Germany.

For someone who owns my kit already upgrade would be about $400 exchange including new main harness also you would need to make a t84 harness plug for car. You would have to do all of the swapping and ship your projector back to me after replacement.
I am still pondering this but need to make a decision pretty quick as I planned to get my lights in this week. Any feedback?
