Just get them from Specter Werkes
http://www.spectergtr.com
Or, West Coast Corvettes sells them but they are just the 'middle man', they get them from Specter Werkes. Might as well cut them out because its about 99.9% sure that they dont even have them in stock.

If you buy the HID kit and ship it to Specter Werkes they will modify the bucket to hold the larger HID projectors.

You could make something that looks better using a couple of old milk jugs, some spackling and a few flashlights.
Those things arent worth $50 bucks let alone $535 bucks.

I have owned the BPP and the Spectre Works...neither are all that great. The BPP has an awesome mounting system but cheese ball lights and totally garbage covers and buckets. The Specter Works have better lights,buckets, and so so on the covers but the mount is junk. I have gone back to stock and will stay that way till someone makes a product that is truely worthy of going on the car.

I plan to reinforce the spackle with zip ties and velcro, so they should be able to take alot of abuse. Please shoot me any other tips you may have.
Not that it does any good in the assembly of the headlight fixtures, but it sure is fun to sniff.

These are the C60's. The ones posted don't have any DRL's integrated into the design. The ones posted earlier look a lot cooler than the C60's IMHO. You can also buy the C60's by themselves if you like them for 1995.00. You will only have to cut your front bumper with a template that they provide. Everything else fits right in supposedly.
