We cannot tell much if the shape of C6 light would fit right in C5 front bumper with just some cutting because that car had too much body work. But it looks real good tho.
For the NSX lights, the owner needed to buy NSX front bumper to cut the pieces and adapted to C5 front bumper.

I can tell you from my experience with the after market fixed, in the 85. If it is not custom it is not going in. The c5r style after market looks bad to me, both in the 85, and in the c5. I am going back to stock unless something better comes along that I can afford.

Default They look awesome

Man I hate this forum, now I want them on my car too. They look awesome like the center mounted diving lights too, between EG's Sc install and the C6 lights I now have a case of "the gotta have it's"

I have always loved those C5-R lights. When you see them coming up on you at night they are freaking hot! It makes me want to get a kit everytime I see them.

To my surprise, the C6 lights do look good in those pics. Too bad so much body work would be required.

Yes they did. It was done for aerodynamic reasons, not for looks. IMHO

Thanks,

Looks better than I thought it would. Much better than the C6 total package are the C6 lights on a C5. Now why didn't chevy do that?

Thoose looks like Callaway lights made in Switzerland not Sweden ;-)
they are e-marked halogen and you can get them in CF and you need to cut out a little bit of bodywork to install them.
Here you are
